Problem with ColdFusion EXecute

Ian, That's next on my list .... I have to look up the syntax for everything though. Linux just isn't second nature to me yet :) -Mark Mark A. Kruger, CFG, MCSE (402) 408-3733 ext 105 www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com www.necfug.com You've got a firewall, right? :-) Have you tried starting coldfusion as root to see if this is the issue (as someone else mentioned)? Ian Ian, Actually - I don't really WANT nobody to have a shell do I? Doesn't that mean a user could login via SSH as nobody with no password? -Mark Mark A. Kruger, CFG, MCSE (402) 408-3733 ext 105 www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com www.necfug.com Ok.. Do you know how to solve that issue?  How do I make sure that nobody has a shell? Mark A. Kruger, CFG, MCSE (402) 408-3733 ext 105 www.cfwebtools.com www.coldfusionmuse.com www.necfug.com Its quite possible. Ian Ian, Yes... I did that in order to construct the exact command line string. My thought was there is no default shell assigned to "nobody" - what do you think of that idea? -Mark Mark A.
