Our local area net administrator is attempting to get an automatic LAN host file update program to run at boot time; however, to write over the appropriate file, root access is required. Init cannot be used because there is no ownership at init time for ftp/.netrc to use. Is there any other way to perform this operation, other than a cron job that would run periodically? Any input would be appreciated. Thanx in advance. -- Max Heffler uucp: ..!uunet!jma!max Landmark Graphics Corp. phone: (713) 579-4751 333 Cypress Run, Suite 100 Houston, Texas 77094
