I have read great things about OpenBSD's security and would like to build a dedicated server just for Zope/MySQL. Any suggestions before I embark into this? Kevin Schaefer kschaefe@ice.net
Don't use the version from the ports tree. Build and install Python yourself -- the ports tree that comes with the OpenBSD 2.6 disk builds an older version of Python. Then download, build and install your own copy of Zope from the source version. It's actually VERY EASY to build and install Zope from the source, I recommend that everybody learn that method. dave Kevin Schaefer wrote:

That's absolutely right. Use the package instead! You can simply ftp the python-1.5.2 package from ftp.openbsd.org or one of its mirrors. This way it took me about 5 minutes to get Zope running from source under OpenBSD 2.6 on an i386. No need to build Python yourself:) --Ragnar
