Greetings Listmembers, Any thoughts on why I would get segmentation faults every time I run hostname(8)? I get the same error when using 'su'. I suppose this is = because the system is looking for the hostname or something related. Whenever I = run the hostname or su commands I get a segmentation fault error and a core = file (hostname.core) in the current dir.=20 I've tried debugging, totally not knowing what I'm doing, and managed to produce this hoping it will help one of the gurus on the list help me = out. # gdb -c hostname.core GNU gdb 4.18 (FreeBSD) Copyright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

(gdb) I've been searching the net for answers. I've been to the signal 11 = faq's page and will try swapping out the ram in an attempt to fix. I thought maybe there was a problem with the cvsup and make world I did = on this machine so I tried to update again. Now I cant finish make = buildworld due to errors in the buildprocess, will post in another thread due to = lack of information the moment. I was also wondering if it's possible to just rebuild the hostname binary if that would fix this. # uname -a FreeBSD dragon.exsus-shell1.net 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Mon = May 19 17:11:53 PDT 2003 TIA for any pointers to fixing this problem
