ifconfig seg faulting?

I just had a scamper to recover a FreeBSD 5.2 server (Dell Poweredge rack mount server, 1 GB RAM twin Gig Ethernet). The only bit that's not right now is that every time we run ifconfig, it has a segmentation fault and dumps core. Example: ifconfig -a em0:

Way OT: How long does your box run for?

how long a box would stay up in the maximum. So, come on, this should be fun, what's the biggest uptime you've ever had for a BSD box? --- Andy Holyer, Technical stuff Hedgehog Broadband, 11 Marlborough Place Brighton BN1 1UB 08451 260895 x 241 ___ [EMAIL

Odd one: my root account disappears into hyperspace.

This doesn't happen when I log in as another user and try it. I've tried comparing the contents of our two home directories, and there appears no difference. Anyone seen this before? --- Andy Holyer, Technical stuff Hedgehog Broadband, 11 Marlborough Place Brighton BN1 1UB 08451 260895 x 241

Problems configuring Postfix/Cyrus/MySQL

telnet to their port and get a sensible prompt, however if I do cyradm --user cyrus localhost imap I get no response at all - the command just hangs. Any advice gratefully received. I have installed postfix and cyrus in the past, but that was last century, and without mysql involved. --- Andy

I've broken /boot/device.hints

of the root partition on /dev/ac1s1a but I can't seem to boot from there. This box is very unhappy with ACPI. If I boot from floppies the emergency shell doesn't seem to include a copy of mount, so I can't rectify the fault. Is there an easy survival route? Thanks in advance for any advice. --- Andy
