Most mis dials on the phone network used to be proven to be human not machine, despite people said they were careful & had not made mistakes. Never underestimate human error. I've know test hosts that were off line & someone zeroed out the root pwd while sys was under debug/repair, to save a visiting expert needing a tmp root pwd. (A bad habit, but its's been known). Then some time later one discovers it is Still zeroed out ;-) ... To err is human, to BSD is divine ;-) Cheers, Julian -- Julian Stacey, BSD Unix Linux C Sys Eng Consultants Munich http://berklix.com Reply below not above, cumulative like a play script, & indent with "> ".
