PS I see with cd / ; /bin/ls -l | grep host
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  wheel     5 Dec 27 12:36 carp -> /host
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root  wheel     5 Dec 27 13:41 host -> /host

(carp is nothing I deliberately set up)

host -> /host   is obviously wrong, should be a directory, something
keeps removing the directory & creating this recursive symbolic link.

Cheers,
Julian

Hi stable@,
I have been seeing some amd core dumps in / running 7.1-BETA2 amd64
with rc.conf	amd_flags="-l syslog -n -r -t 3 /host /etc/amd.map"
I recall someone else mentioned amd cores recently too.

I have reinstalled with /etc/make.conf
	CFLAGS += -g -static # for gdb debugger For /usr/src/usr.sbin/amd
& installed without -s so: file `which amd`
/usr/sbin/amd: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (FreeBSD), for
FreeBSD 7.0 (700112), statically linked, FreeBSD-style, not stripped
If I can get it to core again I will provide a backtrace

In hope of producing something perhaps interesting for re@ 
I will	cvs -R export -r RELENG_7_1 src # make world 

Cheers,
Julian
