I am attempting to teach myself UNIX. You get what you pay for! Read all docs I could find and understand. Problem: when I try to run 'tip hayes' I get msg: "lock open: no such file or directory all ports busy". Pre problem: I used 'tip' from /root successfully and connected to my ISP. I tried to use tip from 2nd virtual console and receive above msg. Post problem: I tried again from /root and again msg. Attempted corrective actions: Rebooted, again rcvd msg. on /root /rolson Checked owner.group and /dev/ttyd1,cuaa*1 files. Checked other files as indicated in FAQ/Handbook/manpages. Checked all docs, including 386 FAQ part 8, did what it said. Searched "mailing list archives" Followed suggestions, no luck. Searched all usergroups, followed suggestions, no luck. I continue to get msg from /root and other virtual consoles. "I want my ISP" Thanks for any help. Looks like re-install o/s time! Dick Olson Enterprise, AL
