I've checked six different machines with slightly different cvsup and build times and using different cvsup locations. They all coincide. FreeBSD dsl.mexcomusa.net 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #0: Fri Jan 19 07:52:22 PST 2001 root@dsl.mexcomusa.net:/usr/src/sys/compile/WIC i386 compiled this morning: /usr/local/etc/openldap # ls -l /usr/bin/man -r-sr-xr-x 1 man wheel 27768 Jan 28 07:11 /usr/bin/man ERROR: /usr/local/etc/openldap # man slapd.conf Formatting page, please wait...Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting ")") Failed. pclose: Device not configured Formatting page, please wait...Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting ")") Failed. pclose: Undefined error: 0 Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting ")") Error executing formatting or display command. system command exited with status 512 No manual entry for slapd.conf I also have a problem with my laptop that built world at the same time. Because of the above, I decided to restart it to put the kernel and programs in sync to see if that was causing the error. Murphy caught me in the act and my laptop now hangs on boot:-( I haven't tried rebooting any of the other machines, yet.) I get: FreeGSD/i386 bootstra loader, Revision 1.0 (root@laptop.mexcomusa.net, Sun Jan 28 05:29:35 PST 2001) /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x19af2a data=0x44224+0x1ba34 syms=[0x4+0x2b6c0+0x4+0x3344c] I had to right this and bring it to the office to send the email so there could be errors in the typing. I now have my laptop cvsuping again with an old kernel.
