Sorry folks, I have found how I caused this - it was by deleting a line n.n.n.n bay from /etc/hosts. ( I got the lpr source to find that out, I find if I put the same IP numbers as localhost for the local machine (bay) that is enough to satisfy lpr.) The line deletion was done while trying to cope with a ppp problem. So I have had my faith in fsck restored. I hope I can rely on it to alert me by filename if something is spoilt beyond recovery. clare -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
