Hi,

What is the most automated way to keep the FreeBSD base up-to-date? I know
that the binary upgrade option in sysinstall can be used to upgrade the base
to the latest release... but does this take into account new Security
Advisories?

Any pointers to appropriate documentation would be helpful as well.

Thanks,
Omar
