Dear Fellow Managers,
I have an AlphaServer ES40 running Compaq Tru64 UNIX version 4.0F. The
file /etc/magic seems corrupt. How do I regenerate the file?
The reason I suspect the /etc/magic file is corrupt is that the "file"
command returns several errors before printing any output, and when I
look at the contents of the file /etc/magic (using the more utility),
there are about a hundred lines of unrecognisable characters up near the
beginning of the file. Also, when I compare the contents of that file
to a /etc/magic on a known working system, it looks a lot different.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Honore.
