Joe, Unfortunately I don't have another 4.2 system. Would you have an idea on how I would build a fresh ls? Should I go to /usr/src/bin/ls and do make depend && make && make install I found the following tree on my HDD: /usr/src/bin/ls /usr/src/bin/ls/Makefile /usr/src/bin/ls/cmp.c /usr/src/bin/ls/extern.h /usr/src/bin/ls/ls.1 /usr/src/bin/ls/ls.c /usr/src/bin/ls/ls.h /usr/src/bin/ls/print.c /usr/src/bin/ls/util.c Kind Regards, Stof -----Original Message----- From: Joe Clarke [mailto:marcus@marcuscom.com] Sent: Monday, December 17, 2001 0:51 To: hjs Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Strange Behaviour 'ls' On Sun, 2001-12-16 at 18:41, hjs wrote: > Cliff, > > The commands you provided me produce the following output: > > bash-2.04$ type ls > ls is /bin/ls > bash-2.04$ file /bin/ls > /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), > dynamically linked, not stripped That's odd. Everything in /bin and /sbin should be statitcally linked since those tools are needed to boot or recover a system before /usr (and the linker and shared objects) are mounted. Have you replaced /bin/ls with something like gnuls or colorls? Has someone perhaps hacked your machine, and replaced ls with a malicious tool? My ls on 4.4-stable built last night looks like: # file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped # cksum /bin/ls 2143685499 294300 /bin/ls >From 4.4-RELEASE: # file /bin/ls /bin/ls: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD), statically linked, stripped # cksum /bin/ls 3683638805 294300 /bin/ls Sorry, I don't have a 4.2 machine to compare for you. Have a look at your ls. If you have another working 4.2 box, compare the checksums.
