Long uptimes = unsecured+unpatched boxes.
Long uptimes? No thanks.
If you had read my earlier message, you would see that I take steps
to keep the important components patched, and thus my machine has
been as secure as a freshly-built system. Long uptimes are just a
nice goal that I try for, so if there was a security issue where I
*had* to reboot to fix it, I certainly would do so.
My strategy works for me because I have spare machines, and I am
constantly paying attention to freebsd changes. The strategy will
not work as well for people in different situations than mine.
