Please help. This is a bit of a strange error. It implies that you can create a temporary lock file, but can't link it to the original. What does /var/spool/lock look like (ls -l) ? Perhaps LCK..cuaa1 is a directory, or maybe /var/spool/lock is on a filesystem that doesn't support links (msdos filesystem) ? If neither of these are true, I guess gdb's your friend :-[ > Thanks, > Craig C. Brunner(CCB) > > ________________________ > |--------CCB-----------| > |--------Name:---------| > |---Craig C.
