Yup, the box is an internal access machine only, so I am not too concerned about the TCP/IP vulnerabilities. If there were not a 1 day power outage 526days ago, it would have been up since July 4th 1997 when I installed it. % uname -v FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE #0: Fri Jul 4 18:08:31 EDT 1997 I have kept the necessary user applications upto date over the past year and a half, but obviously never needed to reboot it. The machine does its chores, and does them well. I really dont have to touch it at all. The only thing we are concerned about is the disk drive which I imagine will eventually fail. Sadly, we plan to take it down over Christmas and pop a fresh 3.x STABLE image on it. wd0: 2015MB (4127760 sectors), 4095 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S At the time, it used to be a good sized drive! ---Mike ********************************************************************** Mike Tancsa, Network Admin * mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications Corp, * http://www.sentex.net/mike Cambridge, Ontario * 519 651 3400 Canada * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
