Ah, that indeed produces a readable file: > Installing Retrospect Client... > > Adding RETROSPECT_HOME to system profile and login scripts...Done! > > Before attempting to use any of the GUI components of the Retrospect > Client, you must have both the RETROSPECT_HOME and DISPLAY variables set. > The RETROSPECT_HOME variable should point to /usr/local/dantz/client.

Thing is, during the instal I was never prompted for any password. Dirk
