I just want to clear up a possible misunderstanding that could cost you a lot of wasted time later. The word "stock" doesn't apply to 4.0 . That's the development edge of FreeBSD, which is not recommended for use in production environments by people who aren't prepared to bleed graciously. :-) Make sure you're familiar with the information at the following URLs before choosing to run 4.0-CURRENT: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/cutting-edge.html http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ7.html Ciao, Sheldon.
