Whe have about 60 pc running NetBSD here, whith the user's home directory on several nfs servers. This problem appear always when accessing to an nfs-mounted directory (ls, 'tab' in tcsh, ...). Since i've an scsi drive on my machine (about 5 month), i don't use nfs any more, and i don't have any problems. Were you in an nfs-mounted directory when you typed 'ls' ? As there is no message from the kernel, it's verry hard to find the reason of this problem. -- Manuel Bouyer, Ecole Nationale Superieure de Techniques Avancees, Paris email: bouyer@ensta.fr --
