As someone who recently had several OpenBSD boxes in production, in a variety of roles: I can't imagine why DUIDs wouldn't work. We defaulted to DUIDs the moment they became available. They worked fine. Even for the Linux guys. If someone has a particular dislike of DUIDs, they can easily change them back. Anyone who has a whole bunch of OpenBSD boxes probably has uses a post-install script, and a couple lines of sed/awk/perl/whatever will make them happy. If you have one OpenBSD box, and you just don't like DUIDs, again, it's really easy to revert. ==ml PS: Yes, I still have OpenBSD hosts. But I'm no longer a pro sysadmin, so I can't claim to be running a server farm or anything like that. -- Michael W.
