Hi
When trying to run any bash script I get the following message: "bash: ./xxxx: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied".. Even as root I get the same message... any idea?
Someone has messed with the permissions of your bash binary or you are not involing the bash you expect.
Check ..... $ which bash /bin/bash $ ls -l `which bash` -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 626028 Apr 9 2003 /bin/bash
$ cat /tmp/b1.sh #! /bin/bash echo Hello
$ /tmp/b1.sh bash: /tmp/b1.sh: Permission denied $ chmod +x /tmp/b1.sh $ /tmp/b1.sh Hello
$ cp `which bash` /tmp/bshell
$ cat /tmp/b2.sh #! /tmp/bshell echo Hello
$ /tmp/b2.sh Hello
$ chmod -x /tmp/bshell $ /tmp/b2.sh /bin/bash: /tmp/b1.sh: /tmp/bshell: bad interpreter: Permission denied
My guess is that the path to the interpreter in the first line depends on PATH
with a dot in it or something. i.e.:
#! /bin/bash
.vs. #! bash
and `which bash` for you finds some text file perhaps bashing a political person.
This by the way is the same reason why you should never write a program called 'test'.
Good luck,

Thanks for the reply Mitchell. After trying some more things I found out that the problems is that if I run scripts that are on /mnt/dados/ which is a mounted fat32 partition this problem occurs. On the root partition everything goes fine. But why doesn't it work on fat32 (or maybe with any mounted partitions)?
Thanks Gustavo
