Hello, again,


Don't think I'm crazy ;-)


I've solved my "Too many..." problem. Perl now works just fine :-).
But, (at least) two utilities doesn't want to work:

/usr/sbin/adduser and /usr/sbin/rmuser

My system claims that the files doesn't exist, but ls -l shows their
presense .

Well... ;-)


	Cheers

		Michael
