[comp.sys.apollo] Disappearing password file

cees@maestro.htsa.aha.nl (Cees Keyer) (08/19/90)

Hello,
I've got a minor problem with the passwd file.
The problem is that the passwd file is non readable by cat, more
or the dm editor.
Though the passwd file shows up as a entry in the output of ls and
/com/ld -a it is unreadable by cat.
When I use " cat passwd "  the output is: no such file or directory.
The object type is correct because if I use obty passwd the object 
is 'passwd'.
The strange thing is that at the end of the /etc/group file the passwd
file contens is catenated.
I called apollo but the tried hard to solve it but the had no solution.
I recreated the registry but it seemed to solve it but when I looked
an hour later the problem was there  again.
So if Anyone can give me some pointers to the solution I would
be very glad.

When i use edrgy -v I get the normal output.
We are running SR10.2 on Dn 3000.
I have one replica registry 

Thanks in advance,
Cees Keyer.
