564.0. "Corrupt resource files" by CUSTOM::STAFFORD () Wed Apr 09 1997 13:46

    
    	Last Friday I got a call from the customer and they said
    	NSR would not start. We tried restarting it without luck.
    	The daemon.log did not record anything only nsr starting and
    	thats it. NSRD then cored. We tried it multiple times without
    	luck. We deinstalled NSR and reinstalled it, no luck. We then
    	moved the resource files to *.old and tried to start it. It
    	started and stayed up. We had no resources but we did have 
    	NSR. The next day we used nsradmin to read the *.old file and
    	nwadmin to add back the resources.
    
    	The question is what happened? We have 80 clients with several
    	groups and spent a bit of time restoring the system.
    
    	I have copied the entire /nsr filesystem and can send or
    	view anything to resolve this.
    
    	Any ideas on deteriming what happened?

As a swag, I'd guess that somebody got curious and started poking
around in the res file with an editor, and bungled it.

    	Missing info
    	DUNIX 4.0b
    	NSR 4.2b
    	Sorry about that
    
    	I am sure nobody started poking the res files with an editor.
    	The customer admin folks use the NT based admin tools for
    everything. They are not unix people and have no desire to be.
