Thank you for your kind pointers to http://www.ucb.crimea.ua/~ru/FreeBSD/30upgrade.htmlo and http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html PROBLEM: One of the new 3.0 systems has a strange problem with the commands passwd and send-pr (at least). Each of these commands just hangs, with no output. [ I had send-pr hang in this same way about a year ago with 3.0, and this was the main reason I have hesitated to upgrade so long.] Is there a command I can give to see what these programs are doing, to see why they are hung up?
