Ah, good ol' FreeBSD 5.x. I switched from 5.x a year or two back to
Slackware on my cluster because it's still a bit flaky. When it's solid
it's going to be a killer, but it isn't solid yet (there isn't a STABLE
branch yet). Note that OpenBSD and FreeBSD are not the same
distribution, and they don't come from the same codebase. OpenBSD is a
high-security BSD, and FreeBSD is a general workhorse OS, like the
various Linuxes. Also note that FreeBSD 5.x doesn't have all the Linux
compatibility issues worked out yet, so you could have problems running
Linux-based binaries like F90 compilers (I did). What I'm basically
saying is that you might want to consider a different OS, either the 4.x
FreeBSD series if you must have FreeBSD, which is rock-solid and has
excellent Linux binary compatibility, or a Linux. Yes I know this isn't
the forum for OS recommendations, but I've tried 5.x FreeBSD up to 5.2.1
and I just don't think it's there yet.
As to your LAM question, if laminfo hangs, chances are everything else
isn't going to work that well either. Do you get any output from
laminfo? Try laminfo -config, if you get any output at all please post
it here.
