References: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Dear Stabilizers, I have had (and emailed about) this w problem, too. Although the problem is currently in remission, I would like to implement a clean cure. Could someone please translate the line "wtmp db was updated by 'cvt-tmp' tool." and explain how I could repeat this process to make sure it's done correctly? Or point me to something to read about it? Thank you, Wayne M Barnes wayne@barnes1.wustl.edu Michael V. Smirnoff wrote: > I've 3.1-BETA upgraded from 2.2.8-STABLE.
