I noticed it was a new postfix-1.11, so I tried the recent 1.10, which gave the same result. I typed in the suspect command myself as root, and it worked fine. It just wouldn't work with the script. Then I noticed that I had just done a cvsup, and the sizes of the 'install' commands on the two FreeBSD4.6 systems are different, and the older one works. The good one is -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12004 Jun 13 21:42 /usr/bin/install FreeBSD etaq.com 4.6-RC FreeBSD 4.6-RC #2: Thu Jun 13 21:54:57 CDT 2002 wayne@etaq.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL4 i38 The bad one (at least it can't install postfix) is: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11956 Jul 28 14:56 /usr/bin/install* FreeBSD etaq2.etaq.com 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Sun Jul 28 18:01:25 CDT 2002 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL4 i386 -- Wayne M Barnes stabilizer@klentaq.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
