I've read that this can happen at any time and there are commands on other unix systems like bad144 that should be used to correct them. I've tried using those commands but have been having no luck. Can someone answer this or point me in the right direction? Please excuse if this is a FAQ. Send all email replies to warelock@netrun.cts.com
