Unfortunately, nothing.  These were brand new boxes, installed 5.3 from 
cd, cvsup'd to latest 5.3-Release, and starting installing the few ports 
we needed.  I can't go to an RC.  The higher powers won't allow running 
anything but a full release.  It was a pretty big hassle even 
implementing 5.3 vs 4.x.
