Ok next tack, let's try changing your shell to /bin/sh, you can do this
with the control-panel, or editing your /etc/passwd file. This will change
the shell you are used to, but this may have to be done for debugging
purposes. Also when you said you added the line #!/bin/sh to the kfm and
kfmsu files, did you do it to both of them so that the line was in both
files at the same time or just one at a time?

Hope this helps and gives us more information to work with. I am still
convinced it is a shell problem. The kfm file has the offending line in
it. It should probably test to see what shell it is being used before
executing and then do the right thing based on the shell the user is using.


Cheers,

Bruce...
