Did you have this problem before the changes? Did you recently compile a new kernel. If you did, check the on-line handbook. I remember something about if ps doesn't work after installing a new kerne. You might want to include a copy of the info from dmesg, also. This will give the people who would like to help you some info. about your system. -- Burton Sampley Email: bsampley@best.com | home page: http://www.best.com/~bsampley
