Hi,

   My system is usually up-to-date within the hour. Unfortunately,
the change to rc busted ldconfig and my system wasn't running
cvsup correctly. It took me about 36 hours before I figured out
what the problem was....

   I'm probably one of the only people who does a:

cd /usr/src && make world && cd release && make release

   and updates all files in /etc/rc, builds a new kernel, and
reboots every other day. All automatically. The last few days
of commits have played havoc with my system.


   I sometimes wonder if the code that is pushed is actually
tested. That isn't a flame, but I wonder if some of the
committers might not be 'over' committed. There have been
alot of 'opps' lately. I'm not a committer, so take what I
say with a grain of salt.... and I really do appreciate all
the work everyone is doing.

   Yea, I should probably rebuild m3socks to be elf, not aout (I run
cvsup through a firewall).

   Just my 0.02 cents...

Thanks!
John
