Oops, John, that tells the whole truth and so on, your HARDDRIVE is full,
reason why sendmail wont accept messages, reason why httpd is going
bonkers, etc etc etc.....
Do 'df' df = disk free space, i bet its going to shock you.
Your going to have to delete some stuff you dont need. old archives etc..
old system logs, thats up to you what you delete, keep away from /bin
/sbin /usr/ take a piek into /usr/local* i bet theres a lot of archives
there, remember when you were installing all the ax25 stuff, detele all the
src files and just keep the .tar.gz archives, things like that.
