Silence is deafening! I last wrote about my major bonehead move last Wednesday. I have been without email since then. I have just got my system back up and running and email configured. Thanks for all your suggestions and friendly barbs. I deserved them all. Needless to say, the only solution was to rebuild my server from scratch. Lessons learned: 1. Back up my system. I must say that this is the classic case of the mechanic's car, shoemaker's children, the IT Professional's computer. 2 Back up my system. Not just the computer that I have just rebuilt, but all computers in the house. 3. Did I mention, back up my system. Well hopefully this is the last post from yours truly, Major Bonehead.

Subject: Major Bonehead move: After so many years of using Linux, I have finally done it, a Major Bonehead move. I wrote a script, and when I tested it, it went wild on me. When it ran it deleted the contents of /bin and I don't know what else. Any ideas, short of a re-install of the OS, on how to recover from this Major Bonehead move?
