For example : Subject: eris monthly run output Doing login accounting: 0 568810.82 =E6^A^G=3Dttyp0 542572.19 =D0p^X=3Dttyp1 542572.19 ^=C0=D3^P=3Dttyp0 542572.19 ?OE^Y=3Dttyp0 542572.19 =A9? 524168.85 -)^[=3D~ Also a w, who return garbled output aswell : # w 11:51AM up 10 mins, 1 user, load averages: 0.03, 0.02, 0.00 USER TTY FROM = LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT byrons p0 dS~(pR~= (=CCR~(0W~( 02May91 - w Both machines that are exhibiting this were cvsuped on Friday 28 June. Both a make world and kernel rebuild were done. A uname -a shows : FreeBSD hercules 4.6-RELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE-p1 #0: Fri Jun 28 17:05= :44 BST 2002 root@hercules:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL i386 That is the same for both machines. I have also checked to make sure /var/log/wtmp was not screwed by moving the existing one and touching a new one. No change. Doing a `ac -p -w /var/log/wtmp` shows odd results : # ac -p -w /var/log/wtmp waynep =09=0997883.21 mikes =09=0997882.48 byrons =09=09-507872.24 total =09=09-312106.55 Is anybody aware of what might be causing this and if there is a solution.
