Rename portsnap to something like /usr/sbin/portsnap.orig 2. This shell script should dump the current ENV and other stuff to a log file. Don't forget to put in a timestamp. And then do: exec /usr/sbin/portsnap.orig $* I did this and found that there was something in one of the .login scripts. Grrrr...
