Thanks, that's good to know... if only I knew what a pilot error is!

My (Intel) NIS server lost a handful of files from /var during a reboot over the
weekend...

Uh oh, tried to fix it remotely and got myself into a heap of trouble... The
problem is pretty serious, I'll have to go in and fix it.

One question: why did my Intel clients still work in spite of this problem?
