It's a minor annoyance only, except that sendmail (5.61++) stops working because it starts getting garbled user info? Almost; it's /bin/mail that fails to get certain information (e.g. mail group, varies a little though). Sigh! this but STILL around in 10.2 ?! (Also logins take much longer etc..) Everytime this happens I cannot fix the problem from telnet session, because I cannot get to root (su says "no permission to su root"). What is exactly corrupted? And how to fix it that next time rgyd dies, I can su root and restart it from telnet session...? add yourself to the "wheel" group. -- When is 10.3 due ? And will the registry/ncs etc. be more reliable ? Or the machine at least resort to the information keeps in /etc/{passwd,group} instead of stalling. -- ORIGIN '~jnp/stdDisclaimers'; [[--- Regards, J|rgen N|rgaard ('|' is '\o{}' in \LaTeX{}) | | e-mail: jnp@tele.nokia.fi || Telephone: <..>-358-0-511-5671 | | mail: Nokia Telecommunications, PL 33, SF-02601 Espoo Finland ---]]
