i cant be connected
how to FIX THIS and what is it

Thanks

Crash dump is bad, means your system abruptly stopped. You have some corruption due to this, you are missing pertinent directories. I would reload software and load the last good known database.

thanx for your response,

but can u tell me how i can reload the software
and database.
another thing is that the system is still working call are made as usual,
except some capricious behaviour of the system.

Thanx

To load the linux follow the documentation. I would recommend to do this by a trained personnel.

As a quick fix..

Login as mtcl (edit by cavagnaro: No passwords allowed Frank?! )

and give me the informations for /usr2 by doing:

(8123)xa081023> cd /usr2
(8123)xa081023> l

you should see a mtcl folder in here.

if you don't, su to root by doing su - , enter the password, then do

mkdir /usr2/mtcl
chown mtcl.other /usr2/mtcl

exit
exit


and try to login again...

After that, we have to work on your partitions that migt be fucked up

So, the moral of the story here is - when someone is in real deep shit... send a post to Ihthisham because his response was the best one

Frank did not even get a thank you for all his trouble!

I disappear for a few weeks and all hell breaks loose! So much so, that someone else even tries to steal my avatar! BRING BACK THAT MASK OR ELSE!
