As I understand (the mechanism isn't obvious), scsh tries to lookup symbol addresses of systems call hooks (and maybe other code) in libc by itself. Remember that scsh isn't a normal shell, but a beast that is supposed to use every system call on user's demand at runtime. I won't even start talking about my other ports. rdate works, though :-) Martin -- %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Martin Cracauer <cracauer@cons.org> http://www.cons.org/cracauer Tel.: (private) +4940 5221829 Fax.: (private) +4940 5228536 Paper: (private) Waldstrasse 200, 22846 Norderstedt, Germany To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
