- My guess is, and I refuse to accept responsibility if wrong, that you
- can edit these files in multiuser.
-
- My entries all resemble the ones listed above (i.e. no /dev in the
- first field). What does Sysadmsh->Accounts->Terminal->Assign have to
- say? Do they show up in Examine. If so, I would delete and re-add
- them.
-
- Make backups of the files before starting and ask everyone to sit still
- while you are editing (i.e. no logins or logouts).
