But if you are willing to do this, why aren't you willing to upgrade to TSL3? Seems like far less work, actually ;) I would be interested to hear what drives a man to this, I bet you have sound reasons. On a side note, upgrading Linux is such a breeze. Upgraded our mailserver from TSL2.2 to TSL3 in less than an hour (same physical box, completely fresh install). Just restored the configs from backup and did a quick comparison in case of big syntax changes. Go do that with Windows! _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
