Hope I'm not abusing things. I just noticed some very odd things happening in ls listings. First noticed this in listing /dev, where some files listed twice, even though there name seemed to be a total duplicate. The file I first noticed this with was /dev/sndstat. Later on, as root, I copied a dmesg listing I had saved in root's homedir to my "chuckr" dir, then did a chown so that chuckr coud won and move it. I took a look at the file, noticed it was a verbose dmesg when I didn't want it to be, so I moved back to the terminal that I was root in, and copied a different named dmesg to the same name in ~chuckr, again chowning it. When I went back to the tty that chuckr was logged in on, and ls'd the dmesg, I was shocke dto find that there were two different lines for the file "dmesg". Huh. Anyone could maybe give me a reason for this odd behaviour? For exrtra info, when I hit moount, the line I get for /home (a separate fs) is: /dev/da0s2b on /home (ufs, NFS exported, local, soft-updates) Thanks
