Rebuilding the system is >so tedious :-( It is a rather simple matter, be logged on the system as root access and use the following command: ncheck -i 1993 It will search the filesystem for any file(s) attached to inode 1993 and give you the file name. I could be something like a core file, or some type of log file. It could be something major also, so it is best to check it out first. -- >.. CCS Enterprises, Inc. .. Bob Willey, CDP ..< >.. P.O.
