I wouldn't use make upgrade on a production server at all, to be honest. I'd back up the user files and reinstall, or install onto a 2nd box, migrate the files, then switch over. This is how I do all production boxes. The upgrade target is by no means guaranteed to do anything more than turn a production box into hash. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
