Hello, i've been having a problem, perhaps someone knows what is wrong ... I am running slip. I had it going for a few days. Yesterday, when I restarted the mac, inetd was having problems. When it was run (from inittab-set to respawn), AUX said that it was respawning too quickly. I tried running it myself and found that it would run and then exit immediately afterwards with an exit code of 0. I thought maybe, that there was a problem with inetd and replaced inetd. That didn't work. I was about to relink the kernel. But another problem came up. I was logged in as root. (whoami-confirmed that) but, when I ran newconfig, it did a check_root: and told me that I needed to be root to run newconfig. Is there something seriously wrong here? How can I fix it. I would really hate to have to reinstall aux agian. I have a lot of files all over the place... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ira bye Ira Lee iradx7@pawl.rpi.edu ira@iear.arts.rpi.edu (518) 276-IRAS (718) 279-4814
