See my reply to Vladis of 30 seconds ago, it gets even curiouser! vmstat 1 segfaults, /proc/1/mem isn't readable. Interesting indeed. And I cannot get at the stats with ksysguard, "cannot connect to FQDN" I didn't have that enabled in gkrellm, and when I do its just a blank header, so its not getting anything either. Yup, curiouser and curiouser... Whats interesting in /sys in this area? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
