Did you really try this before you released > it? Ahem. I'm sorry, this was simply a brain-o.. I looked at the code in this case and said "this can't possibly fail, I don't even need to test it" and I committed it. Mistake, of course. I forgot that msgGetInput() returns a pointer to a static array which is clobbered between calls. Whoops! Password laid right over username and that's all she wrote. I fixed this one a few hours ago and will be rolling a new set of floppies soon! Quite a few more problems fixed, actually. > Anyway, installing via NFS seems to work once I set the 'NFS > priviledged port' option. How about making this the default anyway? > Would it break something? AFAIK, only Suns use this by default. Jordan
