Smerdon) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.netbsd.misc Subject: /bin/sh: Permission denied Date: 22 Jun 1995 16:54:13 -0400 Organization: UMCC, Ann Arbor, MI, USA Lines: 15 Message-ID: <3scl9m$bd5@montego.umcc.umich.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: montego.umcc.umich.edu I started upgrading some disk on a NetBSD 1.0 system and left the old disk in as sd2 mounted under /old. The power supply then died so I took out the sd2 disk and inserted it into a new PC as sd0. When I try to login using anything but root, I am greeted with the message "/bin/sh: Permission denied". sendmail also displays a message that it is unable to exec mail.local. I restored the entire /etc directory from a tar file created a couple weeks ago in case something was wrong, but that didn't help. I didn't change anything that I can recall when it was mounted as /old, but I must have messed something up. Any ideas? -- John D. Smerdon; Livonia, Michigan, USA; Contents are my opinion.
