Good Evening,

I just tried to run "errpt". I got the error message
"Can't open /etc/master...".

Examining errpt with the strings function showed the
presence of a string MASTER. With MASTER set to /etc/master.d
and running in user mode I get the error message
"Can't open /etc/master.d..."

Running as root with MASTER set as above nothing happens,
ie the program appears to be hung in a loop (or is taking
a very long time to generate a report).

By the way /etc/master does not exist on my system, but master.d
does and appears to contain configuration files.

I am running A/UX 2.0 and I seem to recall that errpt did work
with A/UX 1.1.

Does anybody know what is going on?
