'tiger' just told me various home directories are unavailable and upon further investigation I see disk errors. Here's the first reports I can find regarding said hard drive:

Other HDs seem okay. Cheers, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
