I don't have a box with 600 day uptime, will you settle for half of that? % uname -r; date; uptime 2.2-960612-SNAP Tue Apr 28 08:59:28 CDT 1998 9:06AM up 304 days, 5:07, 1 user, load averages: 0.08, 0.08, 0.03 This is a little 386/20, w/4MB of memory, acting as a NTP server, socks5 proxy, and network monitor. It isn't idle; all socksified traffic (like CVSup) goes through this box. The machine itself is an old Packard Bell which reached the end of it's useful life (according to corporate), and which I reclaimed from the scrap heap. -- Jonathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
