I symlinked /etc/ppp to /usr/ppp and mergemaster updated fine. I then removed /usr/ppp making the symlink invalid and mergemaster overwrote the bad symlink with ppp.conf. Is there any chance when you ran mergemaster that one time your /home was not mounted? I haven't gone as far as to find just what the offending area of mergemaster is. > > Kees Jan > > PS.
