network script failing on bootup...

[gutow]

On boot up into level 5 the network script has started failing on my old PPC G4 mac running ydl 6.0 with the latest updates as of 9/9/08. It was working. I can still manually activate my network card. So I'm clueless. Here is the error message. Any idea what is damaged? Thanks, Jonathan.

/etc/init.d/network: line 51: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary file
Configured devices:
lo
Currently active devices:
lo eth0

We need to see Line 51 of your /etc/init.d/network file.

Sorry, I should have thought of that. The lines are below. However, they should be the same as everyone else's as I am using the default installation. I assume some compiled file got damaged. I just don't know which to replace. Thanks for any advice.
