If something has to run on AIX, I'll stick with the IBM version, even it if is backlevel. At least then I can submit a problem and put the PMR number in the report to management. When was the last time you tried to port something complex (I've tried both ntp and DHCP, and several things that require recent versions of GTK) to AIX? Eventually I gave up and built another Solaris box on a superannuated 240R. -- 2008/02/07:12:31:17UTC Slackware Linux 2.4.32 up 30 days, 3:37, 6 users, load average: 2.55, 2.40, 2.39 _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
