I won't pretend to speak for Greg (although I'm not sure he monitors this list, you may need to contact him directly). However, the last word I heard from Greg were that he was concentrating all his work on 4.0-CURRENT, and it didn't sound like anything was likely to get back-ported to -STABLE. That said, mirroring under -STABLE should be pretty rock-solid, and if you can show him a case where it bombs, I would assume that he would be inclined to try to work out the bug and the fix for it, which should then get incorporated into future versions of -STABLE. -- These are my opinions and should not be taken as official Skynet policy ========================================================================= Brad Knowles, Sys.
