Been running solid for nearly a year. $ uptime 8:04AM up 151 days, 1:49, 2 users, load averages: 0.17, 0.22, 0.19 I think there was some critical udpate needed about 5 months ago (ssh?) that caused me to update from cvsup. It could have been when I replaced my UPS, but that wouldn't make sense, as I have dual PSUs on here as well. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks http://www.psknet.com 866.477.5638 > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Jim Durham > Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 10:26 PM > To: Olivier Cherrier; freebsd-isp@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Anybody Use 2 or More CPU at Production Env.
