Could you find the shell it spawned as an amanda >user and syslogd (as per Linus' suggestion) also? I need a bottle of aspirin, no change, but this boot, its working. Go figure. FWIW, syslogd is running just fine, or is for this boot anyway... At this point I don't even have a SWAG about whats going on. Besides, that was a shell I typed that into, and I don't believe it actually spawned the users shell. No visible indicator that I could see. >-- wli -- Cheers, Gene AMD K6-III@500mhz 320M Athlon1600XP@1400mhz 512M 99.27% setiathome rank, not too shabby for a WV hillbilly Yahoo.com attornies please note, additions to this message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2003 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved.
