OK, but that's not coming from executing /usr/sbin/ppp since you've
shown us that it's not in fact linked to libintl, as expected (you
could also verify this by executing ppp by hand). Can you show us
your /etc/rc.conf? Perhaps it's not running /usr/sbin/ppp but some
other binary.
Indeed, I tried to "# ldconfig -elf /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat" (so
that ld-elf cannot find libintl), but ppp loaded anyways. Attached
is my kernconf and a few rc scripts.
Eek, I only asked for rc.conf, not all that other junk :)
I'm guessing that the error message is not in fact from loading ppp,
but something else..one candidate would be sshd, which you may have
replaced by a non-system version. Please run ldd /usr/sbin/sshd and
check this.
If not, then change the rc script to run with "#!/bin/sh -x" and take
a closer look at what command is being run that returns the error.
Well, I ran ldd /usr/sbin/sshd, ldd /usr/sbin/*, ldd /usr/bin/*,
ldd /sbin/*, ldd /bin/*; looked through it, grepped for 'intl'
without any instances found. Then I added two echo lines to the
rc.network script:
echo "Starting ppp as \"${ppp_user}\""
echo "JUST BEFORE - ${ppp_command}"
su -m ${ppp_user} -c "exec ${ppp_command}"
echo "JUST AFTER"
And here's what I've got after reboot:
# dmesg -a
<...>

/usr/bin/su:

Here I almost pressed the "Send" button in my Thunderbird, but
oops. Back to the shell :-)
# man su
<...>A shell is then executed.<...>
Yep, my default shell for root is bash.
# ldd bash
bash:
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x280e0000)
libintl.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6 (0x28121000)
libc.so.4 => /usr/lib/libc.so.4 (0x2812a000)
libiconv.so.3 => /usr/local/lib/libiconv.so.3 (0x281c3000)
So apparently I have probably changed the default shell from csh
to bash on both machines right after that portupgrade. I changed
back to sh now - and the error is gone.
The only question I have now is how come I've never read about this?
I've read the Handbook and the Complete Freebsd and literally
thousands of other pages concerning FreeBSD management. I have
never seen a warning about changing the default shell for root.
Or am I just too blind?..
Anyways, thank you Kris and Toomas for your kindest response!
Thanx!
Best wishes,
Andrew P.
