Even more wierd: I have a server and a client, the client mounts /usr via nfs from server; /var is local, the rest is syncronized via cfengine. /etc/init.d/xfstt start works on the server, does not on the client. Just xfstt works everywhere.
Any idea what the so subtle difference between these machines might be? Sergey. On Tue, 3 Nov 1998, Stephen J.
