I think I caused the situation myself fooling around with the way ckermit does lock files, I ended up doing a tar backup, deleting both directories and recreating then restoring what I needed back. The unlink command got sorta lost, and wouldn't work. (And then I had to create an empty directory [/usr/spool/uucp/.Workspace] which apparently didn't get created because it was empty.) Doing this didn't affect the lock file problem, but that's another story... Michael Nolan nolan@helios.unl tssi!nolan
