Rick, this is good news. If you can provide me some more info on where you got it I'd be grateful.
One thing you should be aware of: 6.0.2 has known vulnerabilities, per http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/14582. I suppose that's the price paid when running older unsuppoted software. I'd be a bit concerned about installing exploitable 6.0.2 on one of my servers. -----Original Message----- From: Rick Aliwalas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 1:25 PM To: Michael Favinsky Cc: misc@openbsd.org Subject: Re: Backups under linux emulation On Wed, 25 Jan 2006, Michael Favinsky wrote: > Dear misc: > > I'm attempting to use (EMC) Legato Networker to backup one of my > OpenBSD boxes.
