Chuck is right: the "twice as much" is du reporting in the default 512 byte blocks. You probably have the BLOCKSIZE=K set in either ~/.profile or /etc/profile. If you recently upgraded sudo, you should take note that env_reset is now the default. You can return to the old behaviour by adding a line like: Defaults !env_reset to your sudoers file. It might be more secure to not do this with a Defaults line, though. man 5 sudoers for more information. -- -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
