Exactly what does this message imply? Mel uid 65534 is 'nobody'. The only thing I can think of that sorts as user 'nobody' is locate.updatedb, which is usually run weekly. If you have a lot of files, it could fill up /tmp or /var/tmp (depends on TMPDIR, set in /etc/locate.rc). Try changing the TMPDIR to /usr/tmp, if your /usr is large. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
