Dhir" To: questions@freebsd.org Subject: 2.0 questions Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Hey all - I've got a system running FreeBSD 2.0R and a system running -current. Both seem to be running fine. The 2.0R machine is running a stock 2.0R system, I haven't patched anything. I don't know what patches to apply (or even if patches exist)! I am preparing to upgrade our main production fileserver from 1.1.5.1 to 2.0R (I'd like to anyway, for several reasons). This machine is used as a terminal server with its 16 port Boca as well as an NFS server, an Internet mail server, a DNS server, and a WWW server (running httpd). I am concerned that one or more of the above may be buggy in 2.0 and am therefore reluctant to upgrade. Will working as a SLIP terminal server (using proxy arp) work OK in 2.0? How about DNS - I saw another person on the list having trouble with named on 2.0...? I assume httpd will be fine, I'm not really worried about that. I'd appreciate if someone could take the time to give me a warm fuzzy about upgrading this machine to 2.0R+patches and I'd appreciate if someone could tell me what patches to apply. Or perhaps I should go to 2.1-current? Please advise... -------------------------------------___--------------------------------- | Al Dhir, Programmer Analyst /___\ UMCP Ag-Engineering Dept | | Internet: adhir@bigdipper.umd.edu (o o) (301) 405-1197 | ---------------------------------ooO-(_)-Ooo-----------------------------
