Do you think that this has anything to do with my problem:

Mar 20 20:14:36 a84-230-215-174 login: Cannot update lastlogx Inappropriate file type or format

as i said, etcupdate doesent make any sense to me. I'm doing cvs update and then building latest current, if it would help any. And next time i'll try to be more accurate with etcupdate.

see ya tomorrow guys :)
