I run a homegrown script after upgrades to find outdated binaries. I have a bunch of files name /usr/lib/lib*_p.a that predate my recent upgrade to 5.4-RELEASE. What are these? Can they be deleted without harm? Thanks, Jason C. Wells

If you have NOPROFILE set in your make.conf, you should remove them from /usr/lib. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
