That's BlueQuartz you say? Hmm, OK. Although you already manually reverted back to flat file authentication, please check the following file in an editor: /etc/init.d/dbrecover If the very start of it looks like this, then this may be the problem: ---------------------------------------------- -- dbrecover +++ dbrecover @@ -1,84 +0,0 @@ #!/bin/sh # $Id$ [rest of file] ---------------------------------------------- You see those three lines above "#!/bin/sh"? They shouldn't be there. Instead "#!/bin/sh" should be the first line of this file. But apparently a recent BlueQuartz update messed this file up with a wrongly applied "patch" command in one BlueQuartz RPM's post install section or another. To fix this, remove all lines above "#!/bin/sh", save the changes and then run these two commands: /etc/init.d/dbrecover stop /etc/init.d/dbrecover start Then see if that fixes your problem. -- With best regards Michael Stauber _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
