That's the point here, the sentence "rock solid" is just that, a sentence! FreeBSD is stable, but my experience with Open has showed me what a more controlled project can reach in terms of quality, for instance, openbsd does not have their developer commiting CURRENT code to the STABLE branch, and this happens in Free! My suggestion is like Greg's one, reinstall OpenBSD. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
