[Sheflug] Caldera Horror!

[James Wallbank <james [at] xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone,

Aaaargh! (Sorry, I had to get that out of my system...)

I just tried to use the loathesome COAS (Caldera Open Administration
System) to reconfigure our fileserver so that it looks at /etc/hosts
BEFORE it checks a DNS server.

Simple enough, you may think, but now when I reboot NFS is not working.
No copies of nfsd are running (there used to be four) and consequently
we cannot serve out the /home directory.

And before you ask, no, the system (which I didn't install myself) only
provides two admin tools, COAS and vi).

Do any of you have any specific experience of COAS quirks that may help
me solve this problem FAST? If nobody replies today, I'm going to
reinstall the system with Mandrake, so I can use linuxconf, which
actually works as a configurator (no, I don't have the cranky old
Caldera disks to hand... grouch, grouch, moan...)

Hey, ho... a busy life is a happy life...

James
