We are running 10.2 ........ rumour had it once that the registry services did not work well with certain number of entries in the accounts or groups. I keep comp.sys.apollo for quite a while, and below one of the previous discussions. And as far as I could see is this one not yet fixed. Regards, Willem Jan Withagen. ----------------------------- Well, I found out what caused the problems with my corrupted and missing /etc/{org,group,passwd} files -- many thanks to Betsy Minahan @ apollo for diagnosing it. It seems that if there are exactly 16 entries in the equivalents of /etc/group or /etc/passwd, some of the 3 are unreadable and others are corrupted. This is a problem that Apollo knows about and is working on. The workaround is to use edrgy and add another account, or person, or something, to bring the number over 16. It seems I also had to delete \`node_data/systmp/{.org,.group,.passwd} as well, so that they could get recreated properly (thanks to Michael Zeleznik for that last tip). ------------------------------ Eindhoven University of Technology DomainName: wjw@eb.ele.tue.nl Digital Systems Group, Room EH 10.10 BITNET: ELEBWJ@HEITUE5.BITNET P.O. 513 Tel: +31-40-473401 5600 MB Eindhoven The Netherlands
