FreeBSD does not have /etc/vfstab. It is a System V UNIX thing. If mount is looking for it, something is badly awry. The use of grep is also disturbing. mount(8) should not call grep. Try "alias mount" and "which mount". I suspect mount is executing some shell script written for some other Unix system that tries to do something clever by pre-parsing the vfstab file. Of course, this is useless on FreeBSD. The alias command should return nothing and the which command should return "/sbin/mount". The other very real possibility is that your system has been hacked and the mount command has been subverted. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
