Well, here's something most people don't really realize: "caveat emptor" is the default FreeBSD fallback position. We don't guarantee any support of our product. These higher-level admins you worry about should know darn well the implications of their actions. And there's always a worst-case fallback; blow away /usr/src and reinstall from known good media. > Hopefully.

FreeBSD could really use the exposure. Failing that, a posting on this list would be fine. :) ==ml -- Michael Lucas [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.blackhelicopters.org/~mwlucas/ Big Scary Daemons: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
