Hi all. The problem was that another admin changed the settings for /etc An ls -lt /etc shows as: srwxr-xr-x 29 root sys 3584 Sep 5 12:04 etc Deleted /etc and restored from tape and all is fine now. Still finding out what the s means. Thanks again. ______________________________________________ Kamalan Govender Computer and Network Services University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg Postal Address: Private Bag 3, WITS, 2050, South Africa Telephone: +27-(0)11-717-1671 Fax: +27-(0)11-339-1225 Web-site: www.wits.ac.za Disclaimer: The views in this email do not necessarily represent those of the University of the Witwatersrand -----Original Message----- From: Kamalan Govender [mailto:kamalang@cns.wits.ac.za] Sent: 05 September 2002 11:02 AM To: 'sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org' Subject: myb: no such aliasmyb isn't unique Hi all.
