-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There, I've just modified the code so that it reports on distinct hosts over the past 60 days, vs just this past month ... for those that *may* have reported several times but have changed their OS (in theory, the only way that could happen is *if* they save/copy their /var/db/bsdstats file across a re-build, mind you), their last reported operating system is what will show up ... This should make the statistics a bit more 'static', since we aren't reporting 'from zero' at the start of each month ... - --On Sunday, January 06, 2008 00:41:26 -0400 "Marc G.
