cool, it worked thanks guys... (compiling with the MD5 option didn't, i probably id something wrong) lets see, i think LILO works fine now (i am not in a mood to reboot the server, hehehe) question: (you must be sick of me by now, promise to buy you a round of beer once i can ;-)) ever cat a binary file? looks ugly doesnt it? not how do i fix that? if you dont know what i am talking about try cd /etc cat mount i now have 2 ttys that are unreadable, maybe i should restart after all, (BTW: some distros fix that if you logout) -munir > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 12:17:02 -0600 > From: Eric Stanley <barnabas at knicknack.net> > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] SAMBA, and other stuff > Reply-To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > Actually, there are Slackware packages available for > OpenSSH.
