I'd like to migrate my Linux powered server to FreeBSD 4.5 but there's a critical syncache related bug that makes it easy to remotely cause kernel panic on any server running FreeBSD 4.5. (more on this bug at www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/34658) My questions: 1. Is there a simple way to fix this problem? (e.g. disabling syncache, whatever) 2. Is it a good idea to run FreeBSD 4.5 on a server or should I consider some older releases like 4.4 or 4.0? thanks, M. -- KURNIK! -- gry sieciowe warte swieczki :) http://www.kurnik.pl/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
