Hello,
I've got an AlphaServer 1200 system that has a factory-installed copy of
Digital UNIX 4.0D (since upgraded to Patch Kit 2) that gives me weird error
messages upon startup.
Every script file in /sbin/rc3.d, beginning with S00inet, emits the message:
"~#!/sbin/sh: not found"
but then proceeds to execute normally.
Files that don't reference /sbin/sh -- like PATHWORKS for Digital UNIX, whose
files begin with "#!/usr/bin/sh", don't show the problem.
Obviously, /sbin/sh does exist. It's twice as big as /bin/sh, but that's to be
expected since it's statically linked -- it needs no shared libraries. It has
the exact same checksum on both FIS and non-FIS systems.
Where the heck is the tilde "~" coming from?????
I saw this also on an FIS 4.0D AlphaServer 4100 before I "re-potted" a system
environment from an older box onto it, obliterating the previous content of the
FIS disk.
This only affects factory-installed 4.0D. It doesn't show up on 4.0D
installations that are either installed cleanly from CD or upgraded from prior
versions.
Ideas would be most welcome!
Thanks
John Francini
