When executed the error I get is: > can't open control connection : No such file or directory Sounds like you aren't getting the /bin/hostname program, which is very simple and just sets a global var in the kernel. The error message sounds to me like an ftp one. Do an explicit "/bin/hostname", then do "what /bin/hostname" and make sure it says "hostname.c" somewhere. My guess is you've got a link or an alias set up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- disclaimer: all persons (including myself) and events mentioned herein are fictitious and, given the subjective nature of reality, can bear no resemblence to any other person's conception of real persons or events.
