If not, something like "cat" may dump info in (or look in) /path instead of /compat/linux/path. I usually start off with a copy of the linux sh with the path set explicitly to the "/compat/linux/..." variants so that hopefully the fbsd versions won't be found. Scripts that hard code paths can still grab the FBSD versions though. Jerry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
