And again. Sorry folks. The last thing I remember doing as root is fiddling with the sysclock (hence a previous posting here yesterday afternoon). At about 7pm (BST) I logged in from the console, read news and mail and logged out again. I then got back home at 01.00 (BST), and logged back in again
I then got those errors. The latest update is that bash has now started working again fine. All that I did in the mean time was dpkg--audit and dpkg -l. I've changed the root password. Although my machine now works again, I'm extremely concerned by these events. Anyone shed any light on it? Thanks, Matthew On Fri, 29 May 1998, M.C.
