Thanks Bryan,
Two other questions, if I do a pkg_add -r openssh today and then the same
command in 6 months will it always be the same precompiled binary sitting on
the server? Or are they updated with patches from time to time? how does
the openssh port binary differ from the oepnssh system binary? I have looked
all through the handbook and faq's but could not find a definitive answer.
Thanks
Kevin McKay

Subject: Re: Security question
I don't know anything about using sysinstall for security
patches/upgrades etc. WHat your looking for I think is cvsup. Please
read the handbook on Using CVSUP to get the latests source updates,
security patches for your release and even updating to a different
RELEASE or -CURRENT or -STABLE.

So it will not just grab the latest patched binaries for 5.1? I am not
sure I understand. Is it just for updating between releases and not
for keeping the current release up to date?

question. When I run the binary update from sysinstall will that
take care of the earlier ssh vulnerability and update apache postfix
and bind to the most current version?
You normally need to run the sysinstall from the version you're
updating to. You could configure your system's sysinstall to load in
the later version, and it should be compatible, but I don't know the
syntax for that offhand...
