Hi freaks out there. I need help : I installed UNIX386 3.2 SCO, and after relinking the kernel, some programms (such like su...) bring up the message: Bad Hz Value Using 60 from /usr/include/sys/params.h I then checked this value, (60), set it to 50 (GERMANY), relinked, and still got the SAME(!) message, but otherwise unix says at boottime, that Hz=50. This causes strange errors, because a command like this : su root -c "devnm /" | grep -v swap | setmnt writes additionally the above messeage into the mounttable !!! Can you help ?? (I've studied release notes, but there was nothing like that) Thanks in advance .... -- Torsten Sturm tnsturm@faui09.informatik.uni-erlangen.de tnsturm@faui41.informatik.uni-erlangen.de tnsturm@faui43.informatik.uni-erlangen.de

This is a problem known at SCO. When I asked them about this, they told me it's because I'd set csh for user root in /etc/passwd. Their solution is to use sh for user root. I don't like this solution. Does anyone have a better idea? In the meantime, I set sh in /etc/passwd, and immediately run csh from .profile in the root directory. (But then 'su' gives me sh. Barf.) Presumably this will be 'fixed in next release'. But who knows when that will be? (if you know, please post...) -rich

So, is there a workaround? I want to create an account which is an
exact duplicate of root, except with /etc/haltsys as the login shell.
How can I do that? If I can't is there another way to let a local
user shutdown the system without giving him root privilege?
