Somehow the /dev/ members corrupt themselves and is the reason why the `ps' command was broken =P All I did was go into /dev and `./MAKEDEV all' and ps now works! But what causes this? I didn't add new devices nor did I remove any. In fact - nothing on the system changed - just suddenly blew up. There is still the problem of /var/run/utmp and /var/logs/wtmp becoming corrupt on a reboot however. For that I just `>/var/run/utmp' and `>/var/logs/wmtp' I hope this helps some people - spidey, nebula? =) Phillip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
