That's why you do a cvsup and 'make world' now and again... See the FreeBSD Handbook articles on Synchronizing Your Source (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html) and Using Make World (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html) and my cheat sheets under Staying Stable at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ For keeping ported applications up to date, check out 'man pkgversion'. >2) I keep getting: > >arp: 192.168.0.1 is on lo0 but got reply from 00:50:ba:47:d0:ba on ed0 > >messages in my nightly security logs.

What you are seeing is some other customer of your ISP (you have DSL or Cable, right?) using the same internal address range that you are, only *their* system isn't set up right and their internal addresses are leaking out to your ISP's router. I had this happen while I was using 10.0.0.x addresses. Once I picked something obscure, like 10.23.157.x, I stopped getting those annoying arp messages. I'd suggest you change your internal network to something a little less likely to be duplicated by someone else. >3) Where can I find info to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2? You can do it via source.
