Good question here ... 'thin client' ... how does that handle the /var/db directory? bsdstats creates a 'state file' in /var/db that contains unique identifies for the client connecting, so that a) its anonymous and b) it reports as the same host regardless of IP changes ... so, if /var/db is maintained across reboots, then running the stats script on reboot will make sure the host is always reported, and /var/db/bsdstats will make sure it doesn't report it as a new host each time its rebooted .. - ---- Marc G.
