Won't do it again :-) BTW, upgrading to 10.3 was seamless; it was so easy that I could've sworn something was wrong, in fact :-) Kudos to the 10.3 team. Wish I could say the same thing about ports, though; the guide blithely states "rebuild all third-party applications (e.g. ports installed from the ports tree)" without giving any hints, thus my system is now 10.3 kernel + userland, with mostly 9.3 applications such as Alpine. Speaking of Alpine, it now wants OpenSSL >= 1.0.1c; I have 1.0.2j installed, yet it still whinges. I've emailed the maintainer, but I had to use my Gmail account (since Alpine was now broken). I've since restored the required 9.3 libraries to get the thing to work. Now to see why my nameserver is partly broken... -- Dave Horsfall DTM (VK2KFU) "Those who don't understand security will suffer."
