I solved the problem. Message-ID: <D8Fy7B.7q9@mv.mv.com> Nntp-Posting-Host: mv.mv.com Sender: Coranth Gryphon <gryphon@healer.com> Organization: MV Communications, Inc.

I re-unpacked it into a new tree, found what it had overwritten and re-ftp'd original (2.0R) copies of those files onto the existing installation. It worked. The moral of our story - don't unpack things if you don't know what it's going to do. If it doesn't work, DON'T try it as root unless your REALLY sure what it does. <sigh, grin> -coranth PS> Thanx in eigen to all the people who would've helped me. :-) --------------------------------------------------------+---------------------- Coranth Gryphon | Reality exists on a | need-to-know basis.
