[rhn-users] RE: up2date failure - corrupt spool files? (Ronald Jimmink) (gs040419a)

[Gene Sears (MUMC)]

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for the response.

X won' start yet, so I'm very much at the command line
The error was that 'something called "Glob" couldn't find up2date-*'.  All
this was done with me logged as root and at /root.

I hope I don't have to start over, but I might.

Gene
