Hello freebsd-questions,

Saturday, May 21, 2005, 8:41:19 PM, you typed the following:

server-98>> uname -a
> FreeBSD server.example.com 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #1: Fri Apr 29 23:04:18 EEST 2005

> PERL_VER=5.8.6
> PERL_VERSION=5.8.6

> CPUTYPE=i686
> NO_X=true

> KERNCONF=SERVER

> After that I also rebuilt the kernel by
> # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/
> # config SERVER
> # cd ../../compile/SERVER
> # make depend
> # make
> # make install

another strike: did you rebooted after installing a new kernel? ;-)

> But nothing changed.
