I don't know why ``dump'' is in /usr/sbin -- only restore should be there. /usr/bin/tar is statically linked so it isn't depended on /usr/lib/ which may be terribly broken (and thus why you are doing a restore). > is it magic of /usr/src/gnu folder? Has nothing to do with it. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
