Roughly what I'm up to: I clean installed FreeBSD, with the DES option. The goal is to set up an Apache on the machine. Then I performed a rdist from a BSDI machine, importing stuff like password file, user directories, user quotas, shells. The Apache works just fine, but when I try to run Perl I get stuck with the error message: "Too many symbolic links" (under bash), "Symbolic link loop" (under sh). I've scanned through my symbolic links w/o finding something striking. Basically, the links I have are "shortcuts to shells", some links to user logs... Anyone seen this kind of problem? Anyone solved it? How? Cheers Michael -- Michael Hallgren, Easynet France Write : http://www.loria.fr/tex Play : http://www.perl.com/perl
