I couple days ago I posted a problem using "make installworld" on a machine that was NFS mounting /usr/src and /usr/obj from a freshly made 3.3-STABLE machine. The target server getting updated was running 3.2-stable (circa July). It would never get too far in the process, complaining (and rightly so) about missing files in /usr/share/man that it was trying to create hardlinks for as man page aliases. Specifically, it was in the "pam_open" and "pam_close" stuff. The workaround was to mount the master server's /usr/share to /mnt and hand copy man (and other directories) over to the target machine's /usr/share. Then the "make installworld" took off and completed without any problems. I could be wrong, but I think the problem might be that the "ln" logic is backwards, like ln's args were reversed. This apparently worked fine with a "make world" on the master server, but not "make installworld" on the target server (if that's significant). --Morgan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
