I deleted all the sh-np's in my own /tmp & rebooted without any problem. There is no note in my home-made list of installed packages of having done anything 050213, but there were several changes 050611 : 050611 app-text/docbook-xml-simple-dtd-4.1.2.4-r2 [for -sgml-utils] 050611 media-libs/libmng-1.0.8-r1 [for qt mozilla-firefox] 050611 net-print/libgnomecups-0.2.0 [for libgnomeprint] 050611 sys-devel/bc-1.06-r6 [was System] removed 050611: gnome-extra/gal-2.2.3 [for libgtkhtml] Possibly one of the former 4 packages stopped creation of files or the 5th package was responsible for their previous creation. Also looking in my archives at the output of Elog , there were 2 packages which was updated around both those dates, ie bzip2-1.0.2-r4 -> r5 & 1.0.3 -> 1.0.3-r4 shadow-4.0.5-r2 -> r3 & 4.0.5-r3 -> 4.0.7-r3 Perhaps this may point someone to an explanation. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
