I'm planning an upgrade from 4.2 -> 4.3 release but there's a couple of things I'm a bit uncertain about. The problem is that I have no direct access to the machine in question, I usually just connect with ssh and for day to day stuff that serves me just fine, but from the stuff I've read about upgrades I should drop down to single user mode for the final stages like make installworld. Now to my knowledge this makes remote logins a problem. I've thought about setting /etc/ttys to insecure and then just dropping down but I'm not exactly confident that'll work. I've also read <URL: http://www.nothing-going- on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/make-world.html > which looks like I might be able to avoid dropping to single user if I'm *very* careful, prepared and desperate. I'm therefore hoping someone can point me in the direction of either i) a way to login across the Internet or ii) a way to do a source upgrade without dropping to single user TIA Kevin -- kevin@caomhin.demon.co.uk To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
