Probably means your kernel and userland weren't build from the same set of sources. i.e. you built one but not the other after updating the source tree. (Or is that something else I'm thinking of?) > how can I fix it? `make buildworld' with the same source tree you built your kernel from, or just rebuild the bits you need to. (ps, libkvm, vmstat, iostat are a few which spring to mind. Probably best to build the whole lot.) -- Ben Smithurst ben@scientia.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
