I have no intention of upgrading any existing clients unless they require something not supported by their version of FreeBSD, this is why my clients are running versions 2.1.6 to 2.2.2. The clients would not like the downtime to complete the upgrade anyhow. I agree if it works don't change it. The query was for any NEW installations that I may be installing. FreeBSD is a very good operating system and I intend to continue installing it into new sites. FreeBSD is being improved all the time and the newer versions seem to have better user ppp support and support divert sockets thus allowing masquerading with user ppp and natd. As 2.2.2 supports the above, maybe I should wait for 2.2.6 as maybe most PR's concerning 2.2.5 will be sorted out by then. Regards, Craig Wilson National Software Pty Ltd
