Hi Nancy, Yes, we need to have root access for two steps of the install...we tread very lightly, but feel free to change root psswd before and after if need be the case.. I, or Steve Emmerson will do the upgrade.. Please send fully qualified domain name of machine you want upgraded.. ldm pwd and root pwd you may want to send the root pwd in a seperate message that does not include the word password...or give it to me via phone..always smart to be safe :) You will be upgrading GEMPAK, correct? Give my regards to the high Sonaran..I truly miss that part of the world at times.
