[olug] EOF error

[Aaron Grothe]

Hi,

One way of getting rid of the additional lines is to just use head to write
out the lines you want.

# cd /etc/rc.d
# head --lines=155 < rc.firewall > rc.firewall.new
# cp rc.firewall > rc.firewall.old
# mv rc.firewall.new rc.firewall

Also, if you could e-mail an od -c dump of the last couple of lines of the
original files to the mailing list I'd be interested in seeing the control
sequence that is causing you the problems.  The easy way to do that is to
run the following commands

# cd /etc/rc.d
# tail rc.firewall.old | od -c > /tmp/firewall.dump

and if then you could e-mail the file firewall.dump to the list. I would be
interested in seeing t.

Regards,

Aaron
