Hi, I'm suffering from a new problem since I installed FreeBSD 2.1 on new hardware. 'finger' produces fine output, no problems, 'finger <user>' produces a Segmentation fault. 'finger -m <user>' produces fine output .. ?! ALl three methods performed as any ordinary user produce fine output, only root gives the above result. 'top' gives a Segmentation fault when executed as root, all other users can run it fine. Get it ? I don't. Also at starup I get the following obscure message: Mar 19 20:31:24 xs1 /kernel: execve: failed to allocate string space Mar 19 20:31:24 xs1 /kernel: execve: failed to allocate string space Mar 19 20:31:24 xs1 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttydi: No such process Mar 19 20:31:24 xs1 init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttydh: No such process Maybe these problems are connected ? Nothing seems wrong later on, and I can normally use these ttyd ports. If anyone has any ideas where to look or perhaps knows the answer, please let me know. The hardware is a brand new Zappa motherboard, with a Pentium120 processor and 32Mb memory. All devices are SCSI, connected to a AHA 2940 controller. The serial I/O is a Boca BB2016 board. - Rob. /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\ /* Rob Simons | rob@simplex.nl *\ /* ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------- *\ /* Novell Netware System Operator | UNIX system operator *\ /*--------------------------------------------------------------*\
