I've got a 2.2.7 box humming along as primary DNS, MX and Samba perversion that's been running since 2.1.X days. About 4 hours to install originally and about an hour each time to upgrade. No breakins, no failures, no trouble. 'Course, I don't get a lot of respect, because they don't see me doing anything -- which is probably true. It doesn't take long to look at the logs, notice the intrusion attempts that failed, the spam that was rejected and move on to other things. I did spend about 4 hours one day tracking down a DoS attack launched from a Linux box that had been cracked on our network. Pulling the network cable was effective, though I suppose that's beside the point. I wouldn't recommend Linux to a friend. Linux seems to have become the M$ of the Unix world. Too bad. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
