Even stranger is the result of a "df -k"; for this I This was caused by a bad "mimumum" entry in /etc/disktab. I can only speculate that that was a result of me doing an upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.2.2, and that the /etc/disktab file I had was a throwback. -- Dr Graham Wheeler E-mail: gram@cdsec.com Citadel Data Security Phone: +27(21)23-6065/6/7 Internet/Intranet Network Specialists Mobile: +27(83)-253-9864 Firewalls/Virtual Private Networks Fax: +27(21)24-3656 Data Security Products WWW: http://www.cdsec.com/
