Okay, the verdict's in. After a lot of hammering on the production box, I've decided that using the FP extensions in their current incarnation on a freebsd 3.2-RELEASE system is simply not possible. I've followed every tutorial to the letter, and short of shelling out several hundred bucks to rtr, I don't see an option. I've gone as far as making the comparison to running the extensions on a freebsd 4.0 box (works fine!), and am vuagely contemplating trying it with a 3.3 box that I have permission to play with, but in the end I've resolved it to a version compatability issue. (I have supporting advice from someone on the list on this). I simply love that freebsd users have been able to use the bsdi extensions for some time now (since before the 2k extensions or 3.3 came out...grrr...) and now they're no longer available. It's funny, though. It's not like this is a complicated issue...It's a shame in order to get this working, I have to start upgrading an otherwise-okay system, or build a new box (this is probably what will happen...which means the frontpage users are going to be isolated from the user base. In the end, this is probably for the best too...Keep nasty microsoft extensions away from the pretty poweredges.) Okay, I'm done. Thanks one and all. I'm off my soapbox. (And trying to figure out where in it to mount the drives for the new webserver and celery board) -Dan Mahoney Exasperated MS Antagonist To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
