RE: [cobalt-users] Raq2 su problem

[Jarle Søiland <cobaltmail@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Strange, this morning I was able to log in as root again ( There must have
been a cron job that has opened up something) The /var was still 100% usage.
But I have now been able to delete some files sow I think it is OK now.
Thank you very much for your help.

Best reg.

Jarle
