I've loaded several 4.4. boxes so far. One of them is weird. FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE (GENERIC) #0: Tue Sep 18 11:57:08 PDT 2001 Many common commands are failing with the error shown below. Even the attempt to compile a new kernel resulted in this same error. excalibur@flag:~> head anyfile /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libc.so.4: Undefined symbol "__sseek" excalibur@flag:~> passwd /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libc.so.4: Undefined symbol "__sseek" excalibur@flag:~> su /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /usr/lib/libc.so.4: Undefined symbol "__sseek" The listings for this library and related files look identical to the same libs on other 4.4 boxes. Same date, size, etc. The only clue I could offer as to something strange being done to this box is this: In preparing the box for service, I set up named with a zone for the domain the box represents. So far so good (very normal exercise). I tested the named setup by giving this command: # host `hostname` It returned the correct address. Everything was okay. Then I did a weird thing. I issued this command (I was root at the time): # host www.`hostname` Please, don't ask me why I did such a looney thing; I don't know. Anyway, my shell was immediately lost. No prompt. I came back in (we use ssh2) and the login was accepted, but the shell - /bin/tcsh in all of these examples - would not offer a prompt and kept dumping core. We rebooted the box and I could log in again and run tcsh, but now we get the errors shown. So, I cannot su, cannot do many common tasks and will have to reload the box. Since we are reloading and I will certainly not issue the silly command that brought this on (or so it seems to have), I don't know that we are looking for a resolution as much as offering a heads-up. Any ideas are welcome, though. I'll be happy to run any suggested tests before we actually get to the reload.
