For the record[1]: After a non OS drive hardware[2] failure I started getting the following when trying to vi a file as a non root user: ex/vi: Error: Log file: No such file or directory I spent time chasing a few other things since chunks of /var and /etc were also missing[3]. However, I was ultimately forced to use the source, Luke. What I found was that my non root account had $TMPDIR set to a directory that was on the defunct disk. -Jed [1] So Google will show up something less useless in the future. [2] The second Maxtor Atlas 10K IV to fail on me. [3] Possibly related to the SCSI controller aborting.
