Aha! Thanks Viesturs, found it in my list corpus.  And since it appears the 
sshd daemon isn't running yet on that box, I can't do anything but print 
the top link & carry it out there when I manage to get a handle on starting 
the day since its a bit early here in WV yet.  Amanda also failed last 
night, no perms.  Probably something in /etc/group & /etc/passwd as I 
haven't copied those 2 files back yet.

Nice coat of frost on everything this morning.

Since its in C src, I hope I can build it, I see others have had problems 
and the forum thread peters out before a success msg was posted.  I have 
done some C, usually making the claim that I know enough C to be dangerous.  
Toss a scraggly coat of disuse rust on the wet ram, and this could easily 
surpass my definition of fun.  ;-)

Cheers, Gene
