We're running into a problem with the version of glibc that's on our news server, which is running slink. I've dist-upgraded a firewall machine at home a few weeks ago without a hitch but the machine at the office is a news server that handles over 4 gig of alt.binaries newsgroups a day (we handle non-binaries newsgroups on another machine since usenet is so vast these days).
I know that there were recently some glitches with plugger and maybe menu so I'm just wondering if I it's stupid of me to dist-upgrade this machine quite yet? Someone has a decoder crunching away on that box and he has requested a newer glibc but I don't want to ruin everything. Suggestions? BTW: this list is incredibly helpful. Kudos to the mad elite that impart some damned fine arcane knowledge on the rest of us when we ask for it. ;-j -- -Grant ````````````````````````````````````oio````````````````````````````````````` "They do not apprehend how being at variance it agrees with itself." --Heraclitus ````````````````````````````````````ioi`````````````````````````````````````
