Migration, Preservation are two I remember...two others are available. My recollection is that perhaps the preservation install preserved /home and replaced everything else...maybe that's one that would work for you? I'm not sure. If you have another box, you could always tar up the /etc/ contents there and move it over and modify. Perhaps others will have other ideas. -- Todd H. http://www.toddh.net/      |

Since you used only a "rm *" you should feel lucky after all. Get from someone who owns a 4.1.5 version a tar file containing all files from the "/etc/" directory - NOT the sub directories - and restore the file. After that reconfigure "/etc/hosts, /etc/qconfig, etc/exports" and all other config files in /etc HTH Hajo CATE AIX/RS6000 |

The reason you can't recover with files from another system is that both configuration and software inventory data reside in /etc/objrepos. -- Doing AIX support was the most monty-pythonesque activity available at the time.
