Can anybody comment on this?
WHEREIS(1) UNIX Reference Manual WHEREIS(1)
NAME
whereis - locate programs
...
COMPATIBILITY
The historic flags and arguments for the whereis utility are no longer
available in this version.
...
So whereis(1) now finally degraded to which(1) (sort of). I always
appreciated the ability of those ``historic flags and arguments'' to
locate the source and/or man page:
j@uriah 378% whereis ls
/bin/ls
j@uriah 379% head -3 /cd/RELNOTES.TXT
RELEASE NOTES
FreeBSD
Release 1.1
j@uriah 380% /cd/filesys/usr/bin/whereis ls
ls: /usr/src/bin/ls /bin/ls

cheers, J"org

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
