Thank you for your suggestion, Sean. I faced this kind of problem both on FreeBSD and FreeBSD(98) because I mis-upgraded to current system. Anyway I tried your suggestion for both. On FreeBSD it was successful and there seems no problem. On FreeBSD(98) there is still a '/dev/:0 problem'. I'll answer about pc98. >>>>> In <20000307235759.A3636@stat.Duke.EDU> >>>>> "Sean O'Connell" <sean@stat.Duke.EDU> wrote: S> Do you have something odd in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers?

What about ssh? or some form xterm replacement? I executed cp /dev/null /var/run/utmp cp /dev/null /var/log/wtmp and others(bash2, ssh, kterm and fvwm2) are also rebuilt. Ssh is openssh in the src tree.
