Hello, It seems that every file that root touches on my freebsd 2.2.7 machine inherit a line full of U's. This is very frustrating, especially when trying to install programs such as perl or apache because it sticks the U's in front of the #!/bin/sh. The problem also appears in ordinary files. For instance, after adding myself to the wheel group in /etc/group it decided to put the U's in front of wheel. This of course screwed everything up and doing a ls -al of / showed that the files belonged to root UUUUUUUwheel. This is easy to fix, as long as it's a normal file, just pico and remove the U's. However when doing the perl install it put's the U's in front of #!/bin/sh and then the install program can't find the shell so it aborts. Has anyone else had a similar experience? I've installed freebsd 2.2.7 on several machines and have this problem on each. I'm going to go to 3.0 just to see if the problem goes away. I do know that it didn't happen under 2.2.6. By the way, each machine has a basic freebsd install without x. The only addon programs are pine and tcp_wrappers. I didn't really know what to search for under freebsd's search engine, so if somebody's already answered a question similar to this please point me to the answer. thanks for your help.
