Permission Denied
 
Ok, I'm trying to run a file in the Terminal. with ./kaid kaid is the filename. When I do that I get -bash: ./kaid: permission denied. I have no idea why it's doing this, I'm in root. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The file needs to have the execute bit set, or it may say permition denied as root.

Try:
chmod +x kaid

post ls -l kaid
