I think so - maybe do a 'ls -l /usr/lib/libnetgraph.so.4' first to verify that it really is *missing*. > But what's > worrying for me is, how was this file "lost" in the first place? Hardly any > console/ssh interaction is used on this particular vm. It hosts a https web service, sends email (it's not an email relay though), has very wrapped sshd access, and that's it. May be hard/impossible to figure out at this point... I'd first of all try to find out whether it was missing from day one, which would imply an installation problem (e.g. full disk?) - or if not, try to find out *when* it went missing, and check logs around that time (if still available) for any hints. I.e. pretty obvious stuff, and definitely not guaranteed to give any result. --Per
