Hello all, Using 3.5-STABLE. At boot, my /var/run/utmp _always_ gets corrupted. It can be fixed with 'rm /var/run/utmp ; touch /var/run/utmp', but after the next boot it's bad again. It has plagued me over 3 months now, from 3.4-STABLE to 3.5-STABLE (at least). I have CVSup'ed, made new kernels and worlds at least 3-4 times now, no luck. I'm using ipfilter patches (ranging from like 3.3.8 to 3.4.6). Example of the corruption: # w ---- w: /dev/umount: : No such file or directory w: /dev/ /usr/ho: No such file or directory w: /dev/ar: not : No such file or directory w: /dev/currentl: No such file or directory 7:15PM up 1:34, 2 users, load averages: 0.05, 0.02, 0.00 root p0 pekkas.home 5:47PM - w ----- The first four lines always seem to be the same. Also, ps has been misbehaving for about the same time: # ps ps: bad namelist No workaround. E.g. killall still works though. Anyone seen anything like this before? Any ideas / pointers? -- Pekka Savola "Tell me of difficulties surmounted, Pekka.Savola@netcore.fi not those you stumble over and fall" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
