[Samba] Help: dfree command

[Desmond Quek]

Hi Joel,

	Thanks for your tip, I found the solution by making the dfree command 
executable by everyone.

	# chmod a+x dfree

	It was executable by root only:

# ls -ld /usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree
-rwxr--r--   1 root     admin         58 Jun 14 18:10 
/usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree

	Evidentally, that is not sufficient, it has to be executable by world.

	Just for the record, by running the script at the command line returns 
the corrects numbers.


	Thanks again!


Desmond

What happens when you try to run the dfree command directly?
eg:
/usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree
Maybe you didn't set the executable flag on the dfree script?
If you don't know what I mean, post the output of:
ls -al /usr/local/admin/samba-2.2.4/bin/dfree
