You may have CVSup'ed the CVS tree in between two MFCs.  
Please check that you have the following file revisions:

  sys/kern/subr_bus.c1.156.2.6 2005/04/14 04:54:15 njl

The machine's BIOS would have utilities to test hardware.  You
could check the state of the system with those.

Does /sbin/init exist?  Does it match the /sbin/init on a
'good' partition?

Re: SE Linux

2006-05-14 Thread Joseph Koshy

[Removing -stable from the CC list].


I will jump straight to the question. Is there something
like SE Linux in FreeBSD which enforces Mandatory Access
Control (MAC) on processes ?


Please see the Mandatory Access Control chapter of the
FreeBSD Handbook.

You might want to look at /usr/ports/sysutils/pkg_cutleaves.

You cannot use a kernel module compiled for one architecture with a
kernel running on another.

Even on a given architecture, binary kernel modules are very likely to be
incompatible between major releases.

Re: Inetd not starting

2005-09-04 Thread Joseph Koshy
> Can anyone give me a clude to look for?

1) Does it start if you invoke it using

 # sh -x /etc/rc.d/inetd start

2) What does `file /usr/sbin/inetd` show?
