It's a message from fsck. I got this when I did not have the drivers for my IDE chipset (SIS POS) compiled into the kernel, and the kernel was using the generic IDE code. It was very slow (long cmpile times etc) until I compiled them in. Now the box is alot faster (UDMA5 on 66Mhz bus rathetr than PIO4) Would be worth checking that is you're getting this message that you have the right drivers compiled in. Check in dmesg for something like 'IDE Chipset XXX detected but no compiled in'. It'll happen fairly need the top. -- Chris Bannister [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

That really depends on how open an sudo perm you give the user. You can restrict a users ability to run only certain commands via sudo. (see: man 5 sudoers) For instance on one of the system I used to administor a couple of the users had sudo permissions to run moutn, our backup tool and a few other commands required. Other than that they were restricted to running only what was available to there user/group. Regards, -- Chris Bannister [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
