Thanks for the error analysis Alex.
I have ONE 6.1 installation running, and for less than a week, so I haven't seen them
personally. It is murder to get an update here. 117 breaks trying to DL Helios over
a 7 day period and then my vendor sends me SuSE 6.1 disk in the mail and we have to go
through the telephone adjustment procedure while I am here two geostationary
satbounces away from the nearest frame relay.
Well, when I read root's mail next week, I won't worry<g>.
