I have to say that it was a lot clearer than the wiki version. I did remember needing to uncomment the lines below in cpurc based on my old install. # if(! test -e /rc/bin/service.auth/il566){ # mv /rc/bin/service.auth/authsrv.il566 /rc/bin/service.auth/il566 # mv /rc/bin/service.auth/authsrv.tcp567 /rc/bin/service.auth/tcp567 # mv /rc/bin/service/il566 /rc/bin/service/!il566 # mv /rc/bin/service/tcp567 /rc/bin/service/!tcp567 # } I am not sure your guide needs to be updated to do that instead of just step 5. term% mv /rc/bin/service.auth/authsrv.tcp567 /rc/bin/service.auth/tcp567 I am not sure of the advantage of doing it either way. thanks fernan -- http://www.fernski.com
