And here is a problem although what is an underlying reason is not clear from the above. Do you have something like 'syslog 514/udp' entry in /etc/services? Or this could be something else. As for 'ls' this is not a bug but a documented property. If you want to see a size of a file in terms of disk blocks then you are not using '-l' flag which means something different. For "dense" files these two numbers are related but for "sparse" this is really not the case. Michal
