How to patch the kernel?
I don't have much experience patching anything, really. I was told by the port security/ipsec-tools to patch the kernel if i wanted to use nat-transversals. they provide me with http://vanhu.free.fr/FreeBSD/patch-natt-freebsd6-2007-05-31.diff, but I am now sure how to patch up the kernel so I can do a buildworld. Any help would be much appreciated. I took a quick read over the patch manpage, but simply 'patch file' in /usr/src askes me what file to patch... This is on freebsd 6.2-release-p9 BTW. thanks -- Lyle Scott, III http://www.lylescott.ws ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
