I spoke too soon. Ugh Well, i might have to hold off on this for a bit. I think the hardware in this thing is flaky. It just spontantously self destructed its filesystem. I'm in the console about to put it on the network, and suddenly all kinds of ugly cryptic ext2 corruption errors start appearing. Next thing i know, all of /etc has disapeared, and the mount point for / has changed from /dev/hda9 to something like /dev/mounts/scsi/luns/parts/9 I try to remount / readonly, but i get all kinds of errors that /etc/mtab can't be found. I try again with the -n switch, and then i get errors that / is busy and can't be remounted. So i try to do a shutdown, and get an error that only root can do that. I *WAS* root, but it didn't know it because all of /etc/ was gone, so uid 0 was a mystery. So, i hit reset, and somehow manage to get into single user mode. I run a fsck which gives me lines and lines of damaged/missing inodes, including all of /etc. So once the damage has been 'repaired' i have all of /etc/ empty, which leaves the system completely unusable. Ugh. ===== ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J.
