Good fix but if knowing perl is a requirement for getting root then many good people would have to hand back the keys :-) I found PHP really useful to know for both cli scripting and webpages, shockingly useful considering I was previously a C++ man who sneered at garbage collection wimps :-) Another way to fix this should AIUI have been cd /bin tar czf student-antidote.tar.gz chmod on another box and then, after scp-ing the tarball to the scene of the crime: cd /bin tar zxf student-antidote.tar.gz on the bad box. -Andy
