Hello, I was having the same problem as Ron. I did follow
your instructions on what to do to correct the problem.
My question is...The instructions you supplied worked. In
your instructions you told us to follow the instructions
to change the catroot2 to the old catroot2...Do I have to
change the old catroot2 back to the 'original' catroot2?
Thanks for your instructions and help.
Ben
