I'd rather keep the system clean and free from old versions of software, it's easier to maintain that way and doesn't violate the KIS principle. Configuration files are good to keep backups of, which is why I have RCS directories under /etc, /usr/local/etc, /usr/local/apache, ... however I can't think of a good reason for keeping old, unused software on a system. -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
