-----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Jon Reynolds Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2002 11:26 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: ps: bad name list On my mail server(FreeBSD4.6) whenever I type the command 'ps ax' I get the error 'bad name list'. This is the first time I have gotten this msg. I have qmail installed and yesterday I wanted to add a function to qmail that would log all incoming an outgoing emails. So I had to recompile qmail, I did this by going into my '/usr/ports/mail/qmail/' directory added the changes to my extra.h file then did a 'make deinstall' then a 'make reinstall'. Since then I have been getting this error. What did I wrong and how can I fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure what exactly it does but it did fix the problem. If this is a bad thing to do then someone could explain why if not here was the solution: cd /dev cp null null.old mknod null c 2 2 chmod 666 null w (to test it out) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
