i would recommend updating with cvsup: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html and following the patch-branch: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvs-tags.html in your case RELENG_4_7. but i do not know if the latest security patches are backported to RELENG_4_7. maybe someone else on the list is more familiar with the various cvs branches. if the patches are _not_ backported i would recomment upgrading to RELENG_4_8 as mentioned in the excellent handbook. hth, toni -- Behandle die Menschen, als w�ren sie, was sie sein | toni at stderror dot at sollten, und du wirst ihnen helfen, zu werden, was | Toni Schmidbauer sie sein k�nnen. - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe |
