Hi !
Do you know you have a directory /var/backups with a copy of
/etc/group, /etc/passwd and /etc/inetd.conf in it ?
(created by /etc/cron.daily/netbase )
Or was it only installed with the base of bo ?
This -should- help you.
if not, consider install anacron, that will ensure your cron entries

Hi,
I have upgraded my 486DX2-66 Notebook to Debian 1.3h from

My previous version of the X server was XFree 3.1.2 and was running

limited support on my old X server.
