Once fixed, it appeared to upgrade fine (build/install/mergemaster), including a new kernel build/install, but on reboot it still shows 6.3...!!! I have rmoved /usr/obj and even /usr/src and tried over several times, but same result. Some parts of the system is running okay, but not others.

This server is one of our DNS servers, so we're covered with others that take over during shutdown of this problem server. The DNS (or named) is one of the parts not running correctly and the most vital.

This will avoid binaries becoming linked to inconsistent sets of libraries when future port upgrades rebuild one port but not others that link to it. This can be done with: # portupgrade -faP after updating your system.

It is used to cause the shell to reread the PATH environment variable and rebuild its internal hash (hence rehash) list of items in the path. The hash is used by the shell as a mapping between program names and their canonical location on the file system. It's what lets you say `ls' instead of having to say `/bin/ls', etc. If you install a new port then such shells will not immediately pick up the new executable - which is when you need to `rehash'. bash handles these cases differently, obviating the need for the rehash command.

Remember the recent bumps to libintl which affected an insane number (i.e. nearly all) of ports? Update just this port after upgrading, and nearly all your existing ports are unusable and need to be recompiled against libintl.so.8.
