In the future I'd recommend at least backing up the directory containing a known problem (in this case /etc). When fsck does need to fix something, it has a tendency to throw away the directory and send all the files to /lost+found/. In this case the directory was sane, but the inode containing the file must have been the problem. -- Dave Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
