I made that mistake again this morning while rebuilding the fileserver. I appreciate that catching such a silly error would be unprofitably hard, so I'm not complaining. Quite the contrary, in fact, as my error caused a different problem to be identified. Right now, however, I have a new problem I seem unable to resolve. In attempting to "replica/pull" a CD image (not the most recent one, sadly) from a stand-alone server, I seem unable to assign the right ownerships to files (sys:sys, for the most part, but glenda:glenda also suffers). This to a freshly reamed FS. I assume it has something to do with the /adm/users file(s) and the two servers' (kfs on one end and fs on the other) view of these files. But I haven't found a formula that works and the process is too slow to encourage experimentation. What would be the right approach? Should I rather twist the floppy image to this task (I think I had some trouble when I first tried it, so I returned to the KFS host) and will I not encounter inconsistencies there anyway? Help will be greatly appreciated. I presume I'm not simply barking up the wrong tree altogether. ++L
