Hello,

I've noticed a couple of "namelist" errors with NetBSD v0.9.  They occur
in the "netstat" and "w" commands.  I've been running an Internet site
with 386BSD now for about a year (good stuff!), and both these commands
work on that system w/o problem.  Recently I added another machine using
NetBSD, and found these two commands to work "erratically".  I checked
the code for "w", and couldn't see anything obvious (file protections,
etc.).  I don't program that much, and would appreciate if someone could
give me some pointers as to what might be wrong (some new places to look).

Here are the messages I get from first, w, and secondly, from "netstat".

w: can't get namelist

tp control block: symbol not in namelist
cltp control block: symbol not in namelist

Any/all input is greatly appreciated!

Take care,

-Rich
