freebsd:11:x86:64/latest/All/ has been built on 11.1, not on 11.0 (I just tested it with csync2 which I know fails).

Hi all pf has rules that can operate either 'in' or 'out'. That is, on traffic entering or leaving an interface. I'm trying to consolidate my rules to make them easier to understand and update, so it seems a bit pointless to have the same rules twice. Are there any best practices on whether

I'd like to use "freebsd-update IDS" as a simple intrusion check. I have a separate mechanism to test that freebsd-update itself hasn't been modified. However I get lots of lines like this: /usr/share/man/man4/if_ixgbe.4.gz has SHA256 hash
