Newer versions break down on many older machines, everything gets bus erros and init dies. I have one 386 which fails in this way and I have seen someone else reporting the same problem on lists. Not a major problem for me, as my problem host is only a home router doing nothing else but routing a single 57.6k serial link (and it only runs sshd). I can use linux or netbsd on that if 2.1.7.1 rots too badly. Of course I would not like to lift a finger before I absolutely must do something about it, as it has been working perfectly for years apart the unhappy attempt to upgrade it to 2.2*. If I touch it it will break down completely, as the system consists of very old swedish-british 386 with lots of patch wire in a wide-open configuration laying on table with cables going all directions, separate power supply which also runs my Sun 3/60 disk, and collection of random ISA cards for serial and two ethernets :) > -Guido > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message -- Heikki Suonsivu / Clinet Oy / Tekniikantie 12 / FI-02150 Espoo / FINLAND, hsu@clinet.fi mobile +358-40-5519679 work +358-9-43542270 fax -4555276 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
