If you've a big stick, read on (and apologies if poor formatting, I'm using an unfamiliar keyboard, unfamiliar mailer, and I'm not even sure if this system is running FreeBSD anymore :-D ) I get the following from uname -a: FreeBSD archangel.daleco.biz 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #6: Sat Jun 2 09:22:50 CDT 2007 root@archangel.daleco.biz: /usr/obj/backup/src/sys/GENERIC i386 However, I rebuilt world, more or less without issues, twice in February with "RELENG_6" in the supfile. This didn't change uname's output, and that worried me a bit. So, to make matters bette^H^H^H^Hadder, I csup'ped to RELENG_7_0 the day after it was release, read /usr/src/UPDATING, and the webpage detailing the upgrade, and did another buildworld/kernel cycle. Now I have no idea if I'm on 6 or 7 (seems like 7, but many ports issues, and I've rebuilt them all), and it's just becoming a major PITA. "Uname -a" still shows the same string. However, file dates in /bin, /sbin, etc., are Feb 28, and: #cd /bin && file grep grep: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), for FreeBSD 7.0 (700055), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), FreeBSD-style, stripped Manpages also show "FreeBSD 7.0". Trivia: I blew away /usr/src and /usr/obj before the last buildworld. They are not symlinked now, but apparently were back last summer; /usr is at /dev/ad0s1e. I've not yet done any of the old-libs commands; I do have lots of ports failing with "Bad system call" and I've got a lot of ports that wouldn't build because "configure" was failing ("C compiler cannot create executables"). There's more, but I'll wait until something moves with this data, I think. Question: why is uname reporting the {wrong} build? Kevin Kinsey -- I despise the pleasure of pleasing people whom I despise.
