Another nice thing is that the systems has this `node_data which is a good thing, But is treated a thrash-can. Why the hell is this essentail nfs_data file in system_logs. ^^^^ The system is swarming with tmp's, why not put it in systmp. Another thing which is in system_logs is proc_dump. I don't consider it a log and I don't think it should be there. It think it's about time that more info is given on what is in \`node_data, what rights are required for the files. What files need to be 'closed'. Eg. can I read other users data by peeking into nfs_data ??? Sorry for flaming, but they don't seem to care and being able to should is good for stress ( so the doctor told, :) ) Cioa, Willem Jan Eindhoven University of Technology DomainName: wjw@eb.ele.tue.nl Digital Systems Group, Room EH 10.10 P.O. 513 Tel: +31-40-473401 5600 MB Eindhoven The Netherlands
