	Hello again,

	I recently upgraded to 7.0 and I'm still having some problems.  First 
off, I should tell you it's a 7.0 tape that I got from a friend of mine who got
her tape back in Feburary. (Hp still hasn't shipped ours, and I couldn't wait 
until it came in the mail.  Too much other stuff that hinged on 7.0 was waiting
for it.)  My friend said that the 3 patches had allready been integrated into 
the tape. And in fact the HP S/W person was able to confirm that.  

	But I still have the problem where /bin/login won't let anyboy loggin. 
Sometimes it will let you remsh over, but that's rare.  And it turns out that 
if you delete /etc/utmp and then try it, you can get in. Also, the check sum 
is way of (my sum of /bin/login is :50122 200 /bin/login) what the normal sum
should be, something like 60000 or so. The person I got the tape from said she
had a similar problem after she installed, but it `went away'.  Does any one 
have a clue ? 

	Thanks alot,
	greg
