You can see commits for this file on all branches (specifically RELENG_7 and RELENG_8) here: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/csh.cshrc I spent some time looking through all the annotations during each commit: I see no evidence that an LD_LIBRARY_PATH override was ever added to that file at any time. Furthermore, on FreeBSD, system-wide changes like this tend to get applied in a much more reliable way (global yet shell-independent): via ldconfig(8). I have no explanation for how said line got added to /etc/csh.cshrc or src/etc/csh.cshrc for you. Possibly a port, or a mistake by an administrator, did this. And if a port did it, it shouldn't have; it should have used ldconfig(8) to do things correctly. -- | Jeremy Chadwick j...@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
