Just spent the last hour bashing my head against the wall trying to get the Tomcat startup script running, and traced it down to the "chown" silently failing. Well, it was actually not quite silent -- it was running echo instead. lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Oct 23 2001 chown -> /bin/echo This on a system that started as a 4.2 install, IIRC. My other FreeBSD machine doesn't have any entry for chown in /bin, so I suspect this is leftover cruft from a previous release. Any reason why I shouldn't just blow the link away?
