Hello,
Just coming from my fresh upgrade to OpenBSD 7.3 and thanks again for
it.. ;)
No particular problem except my realization that with my settings
(unbound started manually) fw_update goes to fail (all the three
attempts) on each (unattended) upgrade. If fw_update happens to be a
constraint
* but having a free to use failover network setting
for the specific case of the unattended installation sounds enough
attractive, isn it?
