Thanks for your offer of help, Jahan. I solved my problem. The directory /usr/bin/ was gone. I think what happened was that I used the portupgrade command and portupgrade behaved "unpredictably" -- my ports environment is in a non-standard location. I backed up /etc/* and reinstalled all the system binaries using the installation disc. Ugly mess. But I'm running again. Thanks to Brent for his help! --- Aftab Jahan Subedar <jahan@bol-online.com> wrote: > can you give the output of > 1. mount > 2. ls -l /usr/bin/login > ? > > dR wrote: > > >I was trying out different window managers when I > >noticed that I had lost env information.
