I hate to add to the problems instead of proposing solutions, but I noticed that /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate seems to be broken after the 64 bit time_t switch. I'll run another buildworld out of the 64 bit time_t system I have up with cvsup'd sources, see what happens... I haven't had any problems starting dhclient, works fine other than the fact that it absorbs considerable system resources. -m On Mon, 16 Feb 2004, Garance A Drosihn wrote: > At 5:13 PM -0600 2/15/04, matt wrote: > > > > Anyhow, here is the strangeness.
