Your syslogd dumped core because of a bug. If your world and kernel are in sync, you should probably compile a syslogd with debugging information, and let it dump core. Then run gdb(1) and see a backtrace for hints about the bug that bit you. If all this sounds like Greek to you, and you don't know what I'm talking about, you should probably run -STABLE instead of -CURRENT, since -CURRENT is by definition unstable and bugs like this might appear from time to time :) -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
