Don't panic ;-) Here at work we're running our DOCSIS cabletv provisioning suite on 5.3 which is (up to now) entirely developed and built on 4.10, including Mysql, sendmail, perl, c++ based own dhcp server, tftp server, apache with php, etc. without any problems. The only problem encountered so far is a 'readline'-library issue which leads to occasional SEGV when using the mysql client. This stuff is all running with /usr/ports/misc/compat4x installed, and some of them are indeed threaded apps (i.e. mysql). Of course as soon somebody starts to upgrade individual package that have dependencies, all dependencies should also be upgraded. Maybe it's really time to tell the folks about 'portupgrade' ? -Patrick Patrick Guélat, ImproWare AG Network Services, CH-4133 Pratteln Mail: Patrick.Guelat@imp.ch - Phone: +41 61 826 93 00 (ext: 13) --0-866581627-1094586809=:11614--
