- Are you sure? While helping to betatest 3.0 PR, I made my 2.0 server into
- a netinfo client of the 3.0 test server. I accidentally changed a value
- for the 2.0 machine from the 3.0 machine and I totally destroyed my 2.0
- netinfo database. I was eventually forced to do a BuildDisk to restore
- my 2.0 machine so that it could be a server again.
