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.

Jon

I finally found the answer to this in the archives of the mailing list. 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)
