well, as to can, been sometime since I used 3.6.x, but I think it
will work with it, 'should' is a different thing, it 'should'
work,
but I would suggest backing everything up before you try.

I decide to delay that update until next week.
They left office already, noone there to create a test user etc
too dangerous

And I leave office now as well.

Thanks a lot so far, have a nice evening (at least that is the time of
day here)

Approaching the update again, I plan to go to 4.5.16 first at the end of
next week (this is the release marked as "stable" in gentoo terms
...).
The step to 4.7.x or 4.8.x should then be easier/smaller/less scary, right?

I have to upgrade glibc on the way, and gentoo wants me to fix
nsswitch.conf:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Glibc_2.26_porting_notes/nsswitch.conf_in_glibc-2.26

The server has until now:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf:

should I go to:

group:       compat dns winbind files

? I am just super cautious here ;-)
