Thank you, will work with the other admins and the dept and see if
we can't get this upgraded.

Oops, had meant to include that...

/proc does not contain scsi1.

/proc/scsi has the following.

[admin@fuji scsi]$ file *
ide-scsi: directory
iscsi:    directory
scsi:     empty
sg:       directory


[admin@fuji scsi]$ file *

[admin@fuji scsi]$ file */*

tried to run /dev/MAKEDEV for both st and sg, didn't seem to make
any difference... and would have expected it to run after we rebooted
the system last week when we attached the devices.

                                                thank you,
