Re: enigma-list digest, Vol 1 #1773 - 10 msgs

It's a RHL7.2 server, from what the owners have told me (and you know
how that goes), they haven't done anything to the server.  They tried to
reboot it a few days ago because they couldn't get the e-mail to come
in. It is using lilo.
I'm not sure of the layout since I'm not in front of the system.  This
I'll send later.  What I do know is after running e2fsck /dev/hda3 it
reports clean and this is where all the files and data resides.  issuing
init=/bin/bash does mount the root fs.
