First, figure out _why_ the user is getting that error. <grin> exactly -what- executable named 'mkdir' are they trying to run? 'which mkdir' What are the permissions on that file *WHERE* are they trying to create the file, and what are the permissions on -that- directory? Note: Including the _exact_ error message is a GOOD IDEA(tm). There is a *SIGNIFICANT* difference between: $ mkdir foo mkdir: permission denied and $ mkdir foo mkdir: foo: permission denied
