Context: SR10.2 I have a two node network. On the node with the master registry I can read /etc/group, but /etc/passwd is appended to it. On the other node anything that tries to read it claims the file doesn't exist. It doesn't seem to matter whether the rgyd is running on either or both nodes. Does anyone have any idea? BTW. Warning. If for some reason /bin/mail is unable to get group mail out with the call to get a group id (which works by the way, even though catting /etc/group doesn't) it will fail. However it will not return an error message, so sendmail will think that it succeeded and your mail will get thrown away. I've reported this (today). Which leads me to one further note. If you sent me mail in the past day or so, send it again. :-/ -kee +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Alphalpha Software, Inc. | Voice/Fax: 617/646-7703 | Home: 617/641-3805 | | 148 Scituate St. | Smart fax, dial number. | BBS: 617/641-3722 | | Arlington, MA 02174 | Dumb fax, dial number, | | | nazgul@alphalpha.com | wait for ring, dial 3. | BBS line is still dead. | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ -------
