I get the message: Enter media drive location [local | remote]: r Enter hostname of remote drive: beep Permission denied. /usr/etc/extract_unbundled : Problem with reaching remote host beep If not root, then I can get to the remote machine. The only problem is that I need to be root in order to run the install script for this product (SunLink DNI). Local machine is a 3/80, remote is a 3/60. Both running OS 4.0.3. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Greg Garland - Alive, occupying space, and exerting gravitational force Melbourne FL 32905. geg@beep.mis.semi.harris.com
