Re: junk characters

To recover your inittab, you must restore from a backup, or you may copy it from another server.

Are you sure is corrupted? aren't you using incorrect baud rate and parity options in your terminal emulation software?

Re: junk characters

Are you in single user mode? Are the file systems mounted?

Using Hyperterminal you have to ensure that the baud rate and parity are set correctly. I am tempted to say 9600 8N1

Re: junk characters

You can ftp to another server and get it that way also....

Make sure you are using the correct settings in your terminal, emulation, etc....
