The lockd dies in that version, so use a release of just . and src-sbin instead of src-all if you need lockd support. Also, don't run samba and quotas or you panic the kernel. Also, experimentation reveals that questions about 5.2 asked here are ignored, but if you ask them in the freebsd-stable list then people will answer you (but also chastise you for not asking them here where they actually belong). That is how I got all my help at least. :/ On Tue, Aug 31, 2004 at 10:08:03AM -0600, Tom Connolly wrote: >I just installed FreeBSD 5.2.1 and I'm a little confused about the branches. >>From my research I have deduced that this is a current branch and that there >is no stable branch.
