Hi, Matt,
Thanks for the tip. Here's the output of my 'ls -l /lib/libc*':
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3070220 Oct 13 1998
/lib/libc-2.0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jun 2 1999 /lib/libc.so.6 ->
libc-2.0.7.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 2 1999
/lib/libcom_err.so.2 -> libcom_err.so.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6209 Aug 28 1998
/lib/libcom_err.so.2.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 181993 Oct 13 1998
/lib/libcrypt-2.0.7.so

/lib/libcrypt.so.1 -> libcrypt-2.0.7.so
I guess it's time to upgrade to Helios. I'm running Festen (5.3).
