I have symbolic links for both the /tmp and /var directories to /usr/tmp & /usr/var, those don't appear to be my problems.

What are some of my other options...since my problem is not the /tmp & /var directories.... thanks, thomas kersten > > -- > Garance Alistair Drosehn = > gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu > Senior Systems Programmer or > gad@freebsd.org > Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or > drosih@rpi.edu > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of > the message __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
