I have no idea where it's getting } /dev//tosher. tosher is my id of course. You have to rebuild everything that touches utmp - of course login and friends have already been done by the buildworld, but if you're running X you'll have to rebuild that (or at least xterm, rxvt, or whatever you're using as a terminal emulator), if it writes a utmp record. Other likely candidates are screen and ftpd if you have installed the wu-ftpd port. -- Jon Hamilton hamilton@pobox.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
