We are looking at setting up a series of new series based on the CURRENT series. A few questions... A gentleman replied to me indicating that CURRENT supports usernames longer than 8 characters? Anyone have any good/bad experiences with this? Is this right out of the box or is there a special series of steps to go through? What are the steps if needed? :) Also, a really dumb RTFM question I'm sure.... how and where do I obtain a CURRENT boot disk? I've tried via a STABLE boot disk and not sure what to do.... Finally, we are looking at a CURRENT machine for a POP3/sendmail server only, also a shell access machine, a personal web pages server (dedicated to that task). Will I run into problems (loaded questions I know) with the CURRENT release? Where/how do I track the problems/resolutions? The big reason for us upgrading to CURRENT versus STABLE is for long username support which we need BADLY...:) Sincerely, Paul -- Out the modem, through the SPARC, down the T3, off the router, past the frame-relay... nothing but Net.
