This one doesn't work. It was cvsup'ed just before the build world. The world and kernel are from the same cvsup. Ruby was broken before this cvsup. I also cleaned /usr/obj (it had been linked before and I unlinked it) before I did the last set of builds. $ uname -a FreeBSD ruby.kbs.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #2: Tue May 16 17:38:23 PDT 2 000 root@ruby.kbs.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/RUBY i386 These work but have been left alone because of the problem. $ uname -a FreeBSD jade.kbs.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #11: Wed May 10 13:06:20 PDT 2000 root@jade.kbs.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/JADE i386 opal# uname -a FreeBSD opal.kbs.com 4.0-STABLE FreeBSD 4.0-STABLE #2: Sat May 13 02:47:42 PDT 2 000 root@opal.kbs.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/OPAL i386 > > > Something has happened and it really messes up trying to edit from a > > telnet session as root.

When I first saw this, I thought I had a corrupted termcap.db but then I found I could edit as a user, just not as root. They are running different shells. My user shell is pdksh and I have left root as csh. It is almost like I have a permission problem somewhere. All three of these machines are conversions to 4.0 with clean installs. Ruby, which has the termcap problem, only runs FreeBSD 4.0-Stable. I can make sysinstall on the two systems but not on ruby.
