We have a Mac II from Apple here for evaluation (sound familiar?), and have a slight problem. Some how, /etc/inittab got blown away. Could someone please mail me the original inittab? Rakesh Patel.

Hello, There's a couple things you can do right now to get the /etc/inittab file back: 1) You can use AutoRecovery from the Sash to replace the file. The instructions are in the man pages and in the Release Notes. (If you need more help, send me email and I'll be glad to give you a step-by-step.) 2) You can execute this command line from the Sash: "cp (0,0,3)/etc/inittab /etc/inittab" This command line will copy the /etc/inittab file from the Eschatology 1 partition. 3) Also, you could mount one of the Eschatology partitions and copy the file from there. (NOTE: Mounting any Eschatology partition may have undetermined effects on AutoRecovery.) Ofcourse, life could be made a whole lot easier if someone just sent you the file. Lemme' know by email :-) . Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: I works heres, buts theys don'ts knows I's cans types. :-) Whats I's says iss nots necessarilys whats mys employers says. :-( Hernan 'Jackie' Macapanpan amdahl \ Technical Communications/A/UX Hotline pyramid!sun - apple!jackie Apple Computer, Inc.
