I've apparently botched an install of NetBSD. I don't exactly remember
what I did, since it's been a month or more (been busy), but the perms
seems screwed up. It was a custom install since I wanted the root to be
on a a RAIDFrame mirror, and the kernel had to be from CURRENT to
support my ethernet...
Anyway, I've noticed issues with running programs (xemacs reports it's
out of memory?!?) as a normal user, but not as 'root', so I figure it's
a permissions problem. I've tried rebuilding and re-installing current
using 'build.sh' and having it install to "/". The etc-update tasks
succeeded, but still I have these permission problems...
Is there some way I can use the build output and mtree to figure out
what's wrong? Should I re-run MAKEDEV?
Thanks,
Robert
