Logging in as root from a virtual console would work OK. After the network came back everything went back to normal. Is there a way I can avoid this behavior? I mean the hanging, not the return to normal operation. :-) -- Fred Gilham gilham@csl.sri.com I can see you're going to do just *fine* here in comp.lang.lisp. I'm rather looking forward to the ritual disembowelling, in particular, although the bit were we chop your arms and legs off and feed them to crocodiles is also good. --- Tim Bradshaw
