Right: in this case /tmp is being mounted noexec. Thanks again. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Brandon S.

Thanks very much Corey -- your suspicion is very well founded, and of course it neatly explains the peculiar behaviour. It looks as if exec has obviously been modified on RHEL and friends to refuse to execute anything in /tmp.
Unlikely that exec has been modified. SELinux and "noexec" in the fstab are the most likely causes. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
