Be very careful about which xterm or vty you type "shutdown" in! :-) I only upgrade: 1. When a new release comes out. 2. After a full backup. 3. Any machine except my "LAN master". Because of my "unique" situation, my domain, etc. doesn't exist outside of my LAN. Well, the LAN master is the machine with all the DNS info for the LAN and two copies of named - one for internet connectivity, and one for without. It also carries the firewall, dial-on-demand, etc. It's very nasty to try and debug a program when none of the other machines know who they are or who they are talking to! Even worse is the instant lack of connectivity. -- Kris Kirby <kris@airnet.net> ------------------------------------------- TGIFreeBSD... 'Nuff said.
