The install CD generates a file in the /var/db directory, with name: mountdbtab (It's a typo of the installation process!) -----------------------------^ Of course, mountd screaming, I'm looking into the directory, and find, that the file is there. I think, looking at this name, it's a bit hard to find the difference between the filename I have, and mountd needs. So the real answer is: cd /var/db mv mountdbtab mountdtab -- Gabor Zahemszky -:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:- Earth is the cradle of human sense, but you can't stay in the cradle forever.
