When I built a NAT gateway for home some five years ago (On OpenBSD 3.4), it could go on for more than 580 days without rebooting (though it didn't act as a public mail server), after which point I had a power outage and decided anyway to apply updates more diligently given the hassle it is to upgrade / reinstall a box all the way to the latest version when you let more than one version pass. :) -- Stephane LAPIE Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Phone: +81 (0)42 319 5164
