That is as insane as the NRA saying bullets >from guns don't kill people. Again, and without proof, you are placing the blame on something other than FreeBSD. For the record, you are claiming that EVERY OTHER OPERATING SYSTEM IS BEING LAZY ABOUT HOW STANDARDS, (I love standards, there are so many to choose from) ARE IMPLEMENTED.

Hans Petter Selasky asked if it was possible to get access to the PC, not that he wanted access himself. I am certainly not going to allow someone to access a machine that I use in production to be butchered up. In any case, I obviously do not have a PC currently running 12.z which exhibits the phenomenon in question. Now, I have a old HP running Win 10 Pro that I need to replace. I am now thinking of moving up the time table and purchase a new higher powered PC with 64 bit memory, et ceterea, and transfer the data from the HP to the new machine. Then, install FreeBSD on the HP machine. It should work because it is 7 or 8 years old, so FreeBSD should support the older architecture. Then, move the data off the current Dell machine into the HP. Once that is up and running, I absolutely need the mail server running correctly, I will blow away the installation of FreeBSD on the Dell and try to do a fresh install of version 13. 12 will be obsolete by the time I get this all done, so no reason to mess with it. The installation will probably fail though. Once I isolate that PC from the rest of the network, he can have all the access he wants. By the way, assuming it works and he finds the solution, I demand to be listed as a contributor to FreeBSD. In fact, I am contributing my time, money and property to enhance their OS. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/QV/c1Pljg+KPdEX87tJQbal Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAEBCAAdFiEELeCiu2K+9VmEYYgTgHBP8gv9FXcFAmBXo1IACgkQgHBP8gv9 FXeqIgv+PJEjUdCpu9Wr0wp/2b+FrsqVAsW0BPsyh9H1qCuViKXOt4D6OCajPysG HVhVyZWny2aEDaY2pnWW1/GKn0756/qrxd8O2Vlg9YvC3HSANbLFHdnVFFgCSHHx cXztv575gvuX33duZbIieWhEYOaW3+4Q+fY5VT+pDVlMNoqi6TatMOvGbslTGD7z ktEll7toPN2UM+hQ0usBhYMZIGDfIV71slDsaJLseOxG6WzS2Haz137Av5p29BcT vGcvd9Uy0OD/K4Q+NAUtI/c4oPVTRAnlPv/g/sG5LOJ57bYVqFlmCCUG6pt2ioSD JOYcJa2r+wxYVUy1PnSDH5ChZWYruvxaeSlWY9zO1+9jBb4GMdK5BfHHCjizGueV W4MqIskItM1o5ldSz5h9DassY0xhmgbMzvdmKBDS+pm2LiTHj/iRySQN3P/C5TMH JOekgvmfLAB5fmk3H5nsnH08vnHQOZGpyFVdNAKkmPvusjqnb/9UVIyaDLjbSa5M HmcSXVIT =bvgE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/QV/c1Pljg+KPdEX87tJQbal--
