BTW: There seems to be a bug in the IPX-code. I have a production machine
with MARS-NWE and 6 attached Print-servers. Cron does something similar to

init S
e2fsck all
init 2

each night. Sometimes, the IPX-module gets a usage count > 0, so I cannot
unload it any more and the MARS doesn't work any more.

If you still have problems reading this signature,
