DES? To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Date: Sat, 22 Feb 1997 13:30:45 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-stable@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've got a 2.1.0 Freebsd system. I've just used 'sup' to get all the files here to do an upgrade to 2.1.7 but I want to make absolutely sure about two points: 1. will 'make world' overwrite my existing /etc -- I'd hate to lose my password file, for example. Or does 'make world' just do binaries? 2. I want to make sure I'm still using DES after the upgrade. I have a DES password file because I upgraded from Linux originally. Just wanted to get reassured on those two points. Thanks! later, david -- David Hawkins -- dhawk@river.org http://www.river.org Do you know what a pessimist is?
