- You can reinstall the subsystem containing this file,
- eoe1.sw.unix, from your distribution media. You will have to
- "set neweroverride on" inside the installation software to get it
- to reinstall that which you already appear to have installed.
- And you may have to remerge changes to system configuration
- files. Contact the SGI Hotline for more support.
-
- And look into your backup alternatives. They're essential
- for continued reliable computing, as you have discovered.

- Put your message in /etc/motd, as described in the man page motd(4).
-
- Until such time as you have a man command working, you can view
- man pages using pcat, as in:
-
- pcat /usr/catman/p_man/cat4/motd.z
