Specific error messages always help us to help you. You did not say if you had boosted or unlimited your Unix Resource Limits in undertaking the AIX-based restoral. You must ALWAYS be mindful of those limits when invoking resource-intensive commands or starting daemons. You should probably review your /etc/security/limits definitions to see if they are appropriate for your system: default limit values are typically inadequate for "system" work. Richard Sims, BU
