The linux procfs is a separate port (at least for RELENG_4 as of now). P.s. Something changed between 4/30 and now that required me to rebuild the vmware, rtc and linprocfs ports to get vmware to work again. The first network access resulted in a (host) page fault crash. Just another reminder that when you cvsup, build the world and the kernel, you should rebuild all the modules (some of which may be in ports) too. --------------5AFECC938EBB5F4B1034434D Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> "David W.
