I was thinking of upgrading (binary) in order to correct the security
issues (sendmail, openssh, realpath, etc.) that have been discovered
since the 4.8-RELEASE.  However, I fail to do so. I've searched the
online documentation but not found what I need, except that I should
run sysinstall->upgrade.

I was a bit quick I think in just backing up and then running the
upgrade, so I got to the same point I was before. Then I discovered
that the Release Name under options could be used. So, I changed this
to RELENG_4_8 and none of the servers could find that release. I tried
4.8-RELEASE-p4 (and -p5). Again, none of the servers had that release.
This is what I cannot find in the documentation. What do you enter in
the Release Name option?

Then again, I might just wait for the 4.9 to come in a few weeks time,
but would then face the same situation again I assume.

I also browsed some of the ftp sites in order to find any hints on
naming conventions, but failed...

Any help would be much appreciated. I'd rather not upgrade from source.

Thanks,
  Kjell
