I couldn't see the equivalent in freebsd. I have a couple of headless freebsd boxes that if they are ever tampered with (well, no they are not in secured locations and they are not secure boxes with keys, they are old pentiums that were salvaged and run GREAT with fbsd) may need a fsck. However, I cant ssh into them and drop them to single user mode to fsck them. I would like to just tell them to reboot and do any file system maint that needs to be done. But I don't see a way do to it.. any pointers? -- David Bear phone: 480-965-8257 fax: 480-965-9189 College of Public Programs/ASU Wilson Hall 232 Tempe, AZ 85287-0803 "Beware the IP portfolio, everyone will be suspect of trespassing"
