Hi Net: Another problem pops up recently which I think is a quite nasty one. I hope some of you could enlighten on ways to remedifying it. We have two Apollo rings in the department, one ring consists of a DN3500 and a DN4000 (Ring A). Another ring consists of a DN3500 and two DN3000s (Ring B). They are both connected to the Ethernet, with both DN3500s as servers. I ran rgy_merge on Ring B's DN35000 rgy_merge -from (Ring B server name) and the final result is that Ring B's registry was overwritten by Ring A's. The next thing that I did was to change the root password back to the original one in Ring B. This somehow alters the one in Ring A also! I've rebooted Ring B and things seems to be back to normal again for Ring B (registry back to original). The problem is the registry of Ring A is now a mess (looks like it to me). I couldn't su to root even I am in wheel group. And the mailer cannot deliver received mails to the right user (it couldn't seem to locate the user id.). Does anybody know what's happening? Is there a way to fix this? Any help will be appreciated before I phone up Apollo in the States. Andy
