Re: rootpre.sh

David,

We got same problem. Here is a work around for that

  The error message "crash: not found" may appear during execution of   rootpre.sh on AIX 5. This warning may be ignored. Alternatively, the   warning can be avoided by creating the following script and renaming it
  to "/usr/sbin/crash":

  #!/bin/ksh
  read input
  if [ X"$input" = Xle ]; then
  echo lke | /usr/sbin/kdb | \
  /usr/bin/awk '/^ *[0-9]+/ {printf("LoadList entry at 0x%s\n Name:   %s\n\n",$2,$6)}
  fi

  OR

  You can be avoid "./rootpre.sh[199]:crash:not found"   error by the following,

  line:199
  PKEXT_PATH=`echo le | crash | grep pw | awk '{print $2}'`

  change to:
  PKEXT_PATH=`echo lke | kdb | grep pw | awk '{print $6}'`

  I hope that helps.
