Or at least have mergemaster extend PATH to include well-known 
directories if it couldn't find things in the current path that it 
needed.

Perhaps the problem is that inetd (or the ntalk entry within 
/etc/inetd.conf) is no longer enabled by default on FreeBSD 4.5. I don't 
know whether that is the case; I never run inetd anyway, but it seems 
like that would explain it.

You mean "the GENERIC kernel shipped with -curent-derived releases
no longer supports the 80386", right?

Are you sure you're just not setting your interface netmask incorrectly?
If you configure the interface with a netmask of 255.255.255.255 there
should be no connected subnet route to add.

Um :)

It is optional. Use 255.255.255.255 as your netmask, and there is
no corresponding subnet route to add.

I don't think FreeBSD is non-compliant for sending packets with
destination 127/8 out onto the net, but I guess it could make it
harder for users to send packets with moronic destinations out.

Assuming $2 are process numbers [1], I think you may find killing those
processes will release the space.

[1] I don't have lsof installed here. ps will surely tell you.

I was talking to the at&t people recently, and all the patches
the current freebsd port applies in order to make the build work
on freebsd have now been rolled into their CVS repository; so,
if you check out a current set of sources (see www.graphviz.org
for details) you should get something that compiles smoothly
on freebsd.

I meant to ask them whether they might like to roll another release
with those patches in so that I could update the freebsd port, but
I forgot. I will do that.
