Good question here ... 'thin client' ... how does that handle the /var/db=20 directory? bsdstats creates a 'state file' in /var/db that contains unique identifies for=20 the client connecting, so that a) its anonymous and b) it reports as the same=20 host regardless of IP changes ... so, if /var/db is maintained across reboots, then running the stats script on=20 reboot will make sure the host is always reported, and /var/db/bsdstats will=20 make sure it doesn't report it as a new host each time its rebooted .. - ---- Marc G.
