The /etc/services in question is that one from sysinstall, it's supposed to be overwritten with the right one during installation of the bindist. (The only hint i've got from somebody else is that his machine might have had an entirely corrupted system date. I think cpio is looking at the file date?) > I guess the install also updated my mt program, but I cannot get the > 'retension' command to work. I get an unknown command error.

And of course, you don't only need a new mt(1), but also an updated kernel for it. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
