There are some parts of the system (such as some ports) which assume you are running 64-bit time_t if the value for FreeBSD_version is larger than some value. (I don't remember the value, but it's well before the value for 5.3-release). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
