I assume it's something like 'Command not found', in which case you need to modify your shell's startup file (for csh, ~/.cshrc) and add /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/X11R6/bin to the path variable. My path looks like this: set path=( /usr/local/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /etc ~dwhite/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/jdk102/bin) Doug White | University of Oregon Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major Spam routed to /dev/null by Procmail | Death to Cyberpromo
