It's telling you that the Unix-domain sockets (ie, named pipes) that postfix uses to communicate with various pieces of itself are "special" files that tar doesn't know how to handle (or restore), and thus it's skipping them and telling you that it did so. Postfix should recreate them when it starts back up, AFAIK, so in this case, don't worry about it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
