Dick, you're treading over the line sending your consulting/clients
issues to the net for solution.  Don't expect me to make your $$$ for you.

#Besides, he stated quite clearly that he had deleted his operator log and
#couldn't get it created again.

#I find that a pretty clear statement of the problem.

That's why you are posting these stupid questions to the net.  Read
my lips: there is no problem description there.

	WHAT DID HE TRY AND HOW DID IT FAIL THAT HE COULD
	NOT RECREATE THE OPERATOR.LOG???  

That would have been a real problem description.

#Had I known the solution (or been able to recreate the problem
#on a 5.4 system) I would have given it to him directly insteading of going to
#the trouble of the post.

No duh.  AS I ALREADY SAID, IF HE HAD GIVEN ENOUGH INFORMATION TO BE
ABLE TO EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM (WHY HE CAN'T CREATE OPERATOR.LOG) THEN
YOU COULD HAVE RECREATED IT.

Just because you ALMOST had the answer and would have IF ONLY you
could have recreated the problem means it wasn't described in the
first place:

	"Help, I've deleted my operator.log and can't recreate it.
	I tried @systartup" IS NOT A PROBLEM DESCRIPTION.  IT'S
	A BOZO DESCRIPTION and you're a bozo for continuing it.

	And if you're so connected, could you kindly respond faster
	than once every two days?
