I have an SS2 running 1.4.3A that runs Bigbrother for my network. That
consists of the BB server plus Apache. It seems to stay up as long as
the power doesn't go off long enough to drain the UPS. 

seahag# uname -a
NetBSD seahag 1.4.3A NetBSD 1.4.3A (SEAHAG) #0: Mon Oct 22 19:06:00 MDT 2001     rmk@seahag:/usr/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/SEAHAG sparc
seahag# uptime
 3:28AM  up 118 days, 16:01, 2 users, load averages: 1.76, 1.88, 1.39

The worst load is browsing the web server as the CGI is all written in
Bourne shell.
