Thanks, Chris.
I can't see inside the file, but I did do a 'which bash' on the new
box and on the one on which the script runs, and both return the same:
balloon at capirossi:~/bin$ which bash
/bin/bash

ls -l /bin/bash
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 729640 2005-05-02 23:39 /bin/bash

Is this an adequate test?

Thanks,

Jenny
