Or have suggestions of how to locate it? What fails when you run it as non-root? You can use 'truss' to watch what it's doing; I'd recommend the '-o' option to stuff the truss output into a file (as long as Wingz is exiting normally). You can also use 'ktrace' and the 'linux_kdump' port; this has about the same functionality and an output format that some people prefer. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
