However, every once in a while I'll go to run some program and it will issue a segmentation fault core dump. I know a large majority of the system was replaced from the buildworld except for a few of these apps (swat is an example), and whenever I get this error I rebuild the app from the ports and everything works again. Its inconvenient, so I was wondering if anyone could explain why this happens? The only error is a segmentation fault, so sorry, no output. :( Is it a library issue, or just differences in the kernel? 2) In other news I got DNS working quite well and have been having a blast with virtual domains, etc. However, everytime I try to send an email to anyone@mydomain.com I get an MX record error that the server points back to itself. I don't have anothr machine to run just for a mail server, so I have no choice but to point the MX record back to myself. I've read all the docs I could find, but havn't figured it out. I modified sendmail.cw with the masquerading and my MX record doesn't issue any errors from named. ideas? uname -a: FreeBSD gouda.acatysmoof.com 4.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Mon May 28 09:53:18 PDT 2001 root@gouda.acatysmoof.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/150PKERNEL4 i386 db.acatysmoof.com acatysmoof.com.

IN MX 50 gouda.acatysmoof.com. 3) xdm is one of the apps that crashes with a segmentation fault every time. It doesn't bother me that much because I don't mind the shell and using startx, but it isn't "right". I cvsup'd ports and src to get to 4.2R, and I can't find Xfree86 3.3.6 anywhere anymore, only XFree86 4.0.1. I want to rebuild xdm, but can't find it alone anywhere. I'm not running gnome or kde (fvwm2 on X with some gtk libs), so gdm is not a possibility because gnome base is too big. Where can I find xdm to rebuild it? Where did X 3.3.6 go? 4) completely unrelated to anything else, I tried to install realserver for FreeBSD 3.0 on my 4.2 box. The .bin file wouldn't even extract. segmentation fault of course. Is anyone running realserver on their 4.2 boxes (not under linux emulation, but native)? I could ask a million more, but then it wouldn't be any fun :) Thanks in advance, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
