Hi Marcia, oh dear, I made the same mistake as you. I wanted to send this to the list. We have to replace the address when hitting "Reply". Okay.

accurately in this point that the service stops:

shutting down samba smbd sh : no job control in this shell sh-2.05#

stting up routing (using /etc/rout.conf)

...

sh : no job control in this shell sh-2.05#

I it stou using the distribution of the SuSE7.3. I really don't have any idea why this happens. Please try the following and tell us what you get then: After the computer is up, change directory to /etc/rc.d Type ./sshd stop Does it give you anything else than what we already know? Then type ./sshd start You can also have a look at the log file /var/log/messages Bye Uli -- Ulrich Roth IMPACT Business & Technology Consulting GmbH Im Mediapark 8 / KölnTurm D-50670 Koeln Phone +49-221-93 70 80-29 Fax +49-221-93 70 80-15 E-Mail: roth@impact.de
