hi, all - i am running 4.0 on a number of machines, with a custom kernel (though i think this happened also for GENERIC), and they all exhibit the following problem: when i run ps or w, it fails with the message proc size mismatch (... total, 1044 chunks) where the ... is a number that varies, and w also says one of several things in addition: no such file or directory permission denied undefined error: 0 the first one occurred for a while, and the second one occurred after i recompiled w, until i set the permissions of the executable to 02555, but now it is consistently the last one (file utmp does exist and is readable - who does work properly) where should i go look for more information? i can rtfm if i know which fm to look for - i do not remember seeing anything about this in the handbook or in greg lehey's book (2nd ed.) more soon, cal Dr. Christopher Landauer Aerospace Integration Science Center The Aerospace Corporation, Mail Stop M6/214 P.O.Box 92957 Los Angeles, California 90009-2957, USA e-mail: cal@aero.org Phone: +1 (310) 336-1361 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
