I think this is a little different case... I guess people are willing to test -CURRENT on their desktops etc. but not on "servers". ie. when you have immediate access to the machine you easily use -CURRENT but not on the remote server. Also, people don't tend to run firewalls on their desktops (as opposed to servers where they dont). This is why I think this bug slipped. Not that -CURRENT is so badly tested... roman _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
