tar is telling you that it's ignoring the Unix-domain sockets in postfix/private. The sockets are created by the application (postfix) when it starts, so there's no point in adding them to the tarball.

With the help of some friends on this and other boards I have put it MOSTLY back together. It boots and things work so now I'm putting some non critical(or what I'd call non critical) files back where they belong. This morning I was using tar to create a tarball of /spool so I can lay it back into /var/spool. When I went to tar it(-czf) it came back with: tar -czf xspoolo.tgz * tar: postfix/private/rewrite: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/bounce: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/defer: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/trace: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/verify: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/proxymap: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/smtp: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/relay: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/error: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/local: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/virtual: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/lmtp: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/anvil: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/maildrop: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/cyrus: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/uucp: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/ifmail: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/bsmtp: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/vscan: socket ignored tar: postfix/private/procmail: socket ignored tar: postfix/public/cleanup: socket ignored tar: postfix/public/flush: socket ignored tar: postfix/public/showq: socket ignored What the heck is it telling me?? thanks Mace --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em.
