I'm not very familiar with administering FreeBSD (I am
quite familiar with Solaris, Debian and Redhat) but I
need to manage a FreeBSD server for a few days, and
need some (emergency!) assistance :)

I've basically been handed a freshly installed FreeBSD
box. This is --

# uname -a
FreeBSD yyy.zzz 4.6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.1-RELEASE
#0: Sun Jul 28 02:04:22 EDT 2002  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
/usr/src/sys/compile/www  i386

Now, 4.6.1-RELEASE isn't mentioned _anywhere_ on this
page: <http://www.freebsd.org/releases/>. Is this a
private build?

Also, this is running some old packages, like
apache-1.3.24_7 (which seems to be actually v1.3.26),
and OpenSSH_2.9.  But since apache has some open holes
in versions prior to 1.3.27, would  patches for these
have been backported to the 1.2.24_7 package (like how
Debian backports Potato bugixes)? Or is there a place
I can get updated packages for 4.6.1-RELEASE?

Finally, would you say this system is ready of being
connected to the public internet, or should it be
upgraded to something newer?

Thanks in advance
