You do need the /etc/services and /etc/protocols files, but AH!!, you need to put links up to them since the fixit gets moved to /mnt2. Now then, I would think that there is a place where the already existing link to /etc/spwd.db gets set. However, how that happens remains a secret that I cannot figure out. Can anyone let me in on this one?

Of course, I had created a fixit disk (as well as a boot disk). I boot up and select the fixit disk option from the menu. Then I ifconfig up my ethernet interface. Now, I ping the "other" host, and much to my disappointment ping tells me that it cannot ping because ICMP is an "unknown protocol". Not to be put off I try telnet, and I am sorry to report that it indicates that its an "unknown service (telnet/tcp)". Charging right ahead, I decide to put a copy of /etc/protocols and /etc/services on the fixit disk. This does not help. HElP!!!!PLEASE!!!!!! Steve@netdtw.com
