OK...after a reading up a bit more i did a 'make deinstall' and 'make
reinstall' of the /devel/fam port. Before this the output of 'ps -aux |
grep inetd' as user was:
makisupa 3330 0.0 0.1 512 392 p0 R+ 8:45PM 0:00.00 grep
inetd
There was no output as root. Now there is no output as user and as root
the output is:
root 1895 0.0 0.0 348 228 p0 L+ 1:04PM 0:00.00 grep
inetd
Still getting FAM errors and same weirdness...starting to drive me nuts!
Thanks everyone for your help...
