It looks as if you've got something weird going on with the linuxulator.
* Can you check "pkg_info | grep linux" and see what you've got?
* What shell are you using? Is it compiled natively for FreeBSD or
did you install a Linux shell from rpm or something?
* Please check "file `which ln`" to ensure it's a FreeBSD binary
and not a Linux one.

killing?
BOOK: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of
kneecaps.
