There is also a nice sysutil port /usr/ports/sysutils/libchk. It checks almost any shared libraries links. I guess that about sums it up. Using the above commands, you could check almost everything in your file system. Great job, thanks. The idea here is to always be able to check the whole system against minor data corruption problems or accidental deletes or unknown files and file modifications. Is there anything else I might be missing? Regards, Lefteris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
