Hi
Heres the story, couple of days I installed KDE.
That worked fine until today.
KDE loads half through the splash screen then just stops.
So I thought it might be a bug. Tried to login using CDE.

With that I get a message box saying problems with the message server, check
/etc/hosts
etc/src.sh
/usr/adm/inetd.sec
Then I get booted back to the login screen.Problem, src.sh and inetd.sec are non existent.
What has gone wrong?
Things don't just stop working, do they?
This is begining to feel a bit like windows.
I have not run any programs that mess with the config settings; just been using xmms, netscape.
I'm a bit puzzled why this has happened out of the blue.

Can some one pls help.
BTW this is not my machine, the owner will be back on Monday to collect his machine.
So its kind of urgent.
thanks
