I suppose I I have some wild guesses for you. Running Samba? Check for leftover print spool files. Not running sendmail? or upgraded sendmail possibly incorrectly? Check /var/spool/mqueue and /var/spool/clientmqueue. Also, check /var/tmp for a lot of old temporary lock files and whatnot. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org http://www.lambertfam.org/~lambert/resume.html 3 years Sr. SysAdmin experience with FreeBSD in small & medium size ISPs.
