LOGIN is way later then needed. A quick test on a 6.x machine with some users in /etc/password and some in NIS indicates that chown behaves reasionably in single user mode without /usr mounted. I could change a file to operator since it's in /etc/passwd, but not to brooks since I'm only in the NIS database. I got an invalid argument error when I tried. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
