In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG OK, since there is no such message in su, I just grepped the entire src tree, and found it in "/usr/src/usr.bin/msgs/msgs.c. It looks to me like it is complaining that the current message number has *decreased* by one since it was last exec'd? Is this right? Either way, I gather that I have some kind of problem with my system messages... Yours, J.A. Terranson sysadmin@mfn.org -- If the Government wants us to behave, they should set a better example!
