Something is odd indeed. I attempted to run an strace (sometimes those can be useful to see what devices and files it is trying to read - look at access() and open() functions in particular) but I get the same error as you if I try to do an strace on ping. Otherwise, ping runs normally. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
