A redeemable human. The whole situation is salvageable precisely because they did use symlinks. You can take the server down, rework the links to point to the character devices, and reboot. In fact, I suspect you could reorganize the links and then take the server down and immediately bring it back up, but that is a little less reliable. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
