You are incorrect. The output of uname -a is taken from the kernel and cannot be updated without installing a new kernel. The good news is that FreeBSD 10 will ship with a new utility called freebsd-version which will provide a better way of identifying if your system is up to date. >From the commit message: Introduce the /libexec/freebsd-version script, which is intended to be used by auditing tools to determine the userland patch level when it differs from what `uname -r` reports. This can happen when the system is kept up-to-date using freebsd-update and the last SA did not touch the kernel, or when a new kernel has been installed but the system has not yet rebooted. http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/bin/freebsd-version/ By the way, it will be /bin/freebsd-version as it has been relocated since the import into head. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The version number shouldn't be embedded in the kernel like that so it's easier for people to audit their systems. I have VMs right now in Xen that report different FreeBSD versions and it's confusing for other sysadmins who aren't intimately familiar with FreeBSD. Some were updated by freebsd-update, some were updated by src.

Depends. Where are your other installed packages from? I'd probably
re-install all of them from the pkg-test repository just to be safe.

So if you wanted to use --chroot I think you have to make sure the packages are available inside the chroot. Perhaps there's some sort of DESTDIR option for the package installation? I've been searching but have had no luck yet. I'll ask around. It might be more reliable to do something like nullfs mount the packages into the chroot and do the installation completely within the chroot. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

The developer is strange and doesn't understand open source licenses.

The right way to handle this is to get your own IP allocation and do BGP out both providers.

I actually will be using this with Xymon at work. I did fix the == and style nit when I went over this script I'm still having a problem. When I started debugging this last night $STRING led me to believe the pipe into read wasn't working right. At the bottom of the script I added echo in front of the "$BB $BBDISP" line.

OT: posix sh problem
Hi all, Hopefully someone here is much more clever than I am. I've run out of ideas on how to cleanly convert this chunk of ksh to posix sh. This is from a BB/Hobbit/Xymon monitoring script for ZFS. I'd really like to have this working cleanly on FreeBSD without requiring any funky shells or using any temporary files. The following is supposed to be able to loop through the output of multiple zpools reading one line at a time and each line item is set as a variable: /sbin/zpool list -H | while read name size used avail cap dedup health altroot do # do interesting things here done Unfortunately you can't pipe through read in posix sh. You also can't use process substitution: while read var1 var1 < <(/sbin/zpool list -H) Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I know there's a python-based script floating on github but I cant guarantee every server will have python on it...
