Crossing my fingers and hoping I can pull out of this one. > Well I am not having an easy time with this one. I am following the "What is something goes wrong" section of the handbook. I cusp's my files with the correct tag, but I wonder if it's to late? unnamed -a reports Frees 4.6 #4, but this was after I made build after cvsuping the wrong files (4_5). I am currently not able to build with the "correct" source. It seems to be failing in the modules section particularly Pam_ssh. I say seems because I tried to capture the output but it was huge and wouldn't save. (there is a command that will only write the last number of lines you specify, but I don't know it at the moment). Well I am determined to rescue this system just because I think it's a good exercise. I am not particularly worried about the data (why I don't have a backup) as it's only been up a week anyways.
