Summary: Puzzling messages on my monitor.

One is: ln: cklock and cklock1 are identical I surmise that two files that are the same are trying yo be linked together, but what is doing this, and why? A quick 'find' over the entire file system shows no such files. The other message shows up when you try to do a ps, it's something like: unable to unlink ps_data: contact system administrator Well, I AM the system administrator! This seems to be a minor permissions problem with ps_data; however, it keeps returning every now and then. These aren't serious problems, but they bother me, so if anyone can explain them, I'd appreciate it. I'm using cubix V.3.1 (kind of micro-porty, although I've seen the first one with Interactive V.3.0 too). Thanks! Brian Bishop
