bobw was great this morning and rescued us from our G4 which refused to reboot. Now it has become obvious that we have a missing /tmp link which I'm told our Disk Utility should be able to fix (we have OS X 10.3.9) but I've tried it several times now and it seems to start up then gets hung up.

bobw, are you out there, mate? Suggestions? Anyone?
 
Try this, open up the Terminal and type:

sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp

Hit return, enter your admin password, and hit return again.
 
Thanks Bob. That's what I have here to do, but it says it's for OS X 10.2.8 or earlier and I wasn't sure if it was safe to do it seeing that we have 10.3.9 on board. I'll now it a go.
 
Hmmm, that didn't work. And if I read the message correctly it stated that the tmp/ exists. But I stll can't get the disk utility, file sharing, etc to work as normal. I thiught this was going to be easy.
