This server is only doing one simple thing: NFS en SMB serving. Even SMB is still way behind on 2.2.8 And I have not tried in going to the 5.2.1 venture. I only went to 5.1 on this box, because it was the last of the mohicans in my home server park not running >= 5. So I wanted to get ride of the 4.x tree. And as you can see I have not tinkered with this box for almost a year. --WjW
