/bin/sh.exe had no perms set (and neither did anything else in /bin)

I did a ''chmod 000 /bin/sh.exe'' on my system and got the same problem.

I had checked with him early on that sh was executable, but by running 
it from the command line, and it worked. Just to test this I tried myself:

marder-1:~{32}$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe
-rwx------+   1 marko    None        69632 Jul 31  2002 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{33}$ chmod 000 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{34}$ ls -l /bin/sh.exe
----------+   1 marko    None        69632 Jul 31  2002 /bin/sh.exe
marder-1:~{35}$ /bin/sh
\h:\w{\#}$ exit
marder-1:~{36}$

That shouldn't work, surely? Without the execute bit set it should throw 
a "Command not found" or similar.

Thanks for kicking me in the right direction though, much appreciated.

Regards,

Parish
