Note that it would be better to ask questions about 5.1-RELEASE on the freebsd-current mailing list. The 5.x-series has not been made the "stable" branch of freebsd -- not yet at least.

These are fine questions to ask for help on, it's just that you will get better results by asking the group of people who run the 5.x-series. freebsd-stable is still for the 4.x-series of releases. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
