When I run fcheck the following error message is displayed.CONFIG: Configuration file /usr/local/fcheck/fcheck.cfg on Ns1 labels /etc/^M as a directory when it is NOT.I can change the config file to just /etc and the same error comes up. I am running FCheck on Sun Sparc Ultra 60 servers and the OS is Solaris 8. Any help would be appreciated.

I have noticed that, on Windows NT/2000, integrity check on empty directory gives the same response and terminates as well.

The issue is the <cr> end of line and carage return character at the end of a line, more then likely a "Directory = /etc/" line.If you open your fcheck.cfg file in vi you may see the '^M' chars at the end of each and every new line.So, to replace the '^M' you can use:cat fcheck.cfg | tr '\r' '\n' > fcheck.cfg.newon a unix/linux box.hope that helps.-colonel
