CCR1009 screws for mounting rack ears . size??

I seldom rack mount these, but now I have a need to do so and of course, I have the ears but the packet for screws is long gone.
Anyone know what size those tiny screws that hold the ears on to the side of the router?

Re: Connect the same version of the client, with several different version CHR The Dude servers?

Thanks very much for the solution to run The Dude as Administrator!
I always wondered why that upgrade/downgrade feature never worked and was having to keep multiple versions of the program. I don't think this is in the documentation, or at least I haven't seen it.

We operate a lot of hotspots, using an external AAA/RADIUS solution. It needs a NASID from the Mikrotik, and unfortunately Mikrotik sets this using ROuter Identity field. The problem is that this limits us to one hotspot per router which is a huge waste of resources. We sometimes have to put 3 route...
