I have tried with version 4.19 from ftp.astron.com, and that version does not dump core on the problem file. But I now have /usr/local/bin/file at 4.19 and /usr/bin/file at 4.12. What do I have to do to make the entire FreeBSD system use /usr/local/bin/file (and the associated magic files of the correct version) instead of /usr/bin/file? I can't move away from x.x-RELEASE-pxx because of upgrading policy on production servers. This goes beyond my usual cvsup, make buildworld/buildkernel/ installkernel/installworld cycle. Should I put all files from file-4.19.tar into /usr/src/contrib/file and then run a make buildworld and make installworld? I'm sorry if this is too much of a beginners question, please attach some URL or some relevant search phrase to any RTFM:s. Thanks! -- Peter Olsson pol@leissner.se
