Re: Problems running PilotManager

[Rudolf Baumann <ruba@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I could "solve" my problem. I tried everything I could think of - new
installations of perl, pilotmgr, booting (and switching off) the
workstation. Then I moved the craddle from b to a and now it works
again. Funny is, that both devices look absolutely identical:
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       29,  0 May 15 14:05 zs@0,100000:a
crw-rw-rw-   1 uucp     operator  29,131072 Feb 26  1997
zs@0,100000:a,cu
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     sys       29,  1 May 11 16:27 zs@0,100000:b
crw-rw-rw-   1 uucp     operator  29,131073 Feb 26  1997
zs@0,100000:b,cu
how would one create these devices from scratch - would that help?
