See my patch and reply to Andre. >=20 > which one? devfs is in /sbin. It looks like chown. That one always suprises me even though I've hit it a number of times.

Hmm, I wonder what happens if you try to use chown when you have nss configured to use a directory, but don't have /usr mountd. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
