Hello, i've been having a problem, perhaps someone knows what is 
wrong ...

I am running slip.  I had it going for a few days.  Yesterday, when I
restarted the mac, inetd was having problems.
 When it was run (from inittab-set to respawn), AUX said that it
was respawning too quickly.  I tried running it myself and found 
that it would run and then exit immediately afterwards with an 
exit code of 0.  I thought maybe, that there was a problem with
inetd and replaced inetd.  That didn't work.


I was about to relink the kernel.  But another problem came up.
I was logged in as root. (whoami-confirmed that)  
but, when I ran newconfig, it did a check_root: and told me that
I needed to be root to run newconfig.  Is there something seriously
wrong here?  How can I fix it.  I would really hate to have to reinstall
aux agian.  I have a lot of files all over the place...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
ira
