I am skeptical, since this is counter to design and experience. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but so far it's not reproducible. When you say you updated a FreeBSD 9.0 machine, was it... 9.0-RELEASE? 9.0-RELEASE-pX ? i386? amd64? - M _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
