To get it to 9.3 I did the usual freebsd-update approach. Everything appeared to go fine. When the process completed, uname -a showed 9.3. Since I need a custom kernel for this system and src is on the system, I then went and did a buildworld and buildkernel. After booting the new kernel, uname -a now shows 9.2 P10. I know that there were updates to the src files since freebsd-update listed a bunch of them and the previous kernel was 9.2-P8. So, what system do I have?

If that is the case, it's a bug and you should file a PR. This gets even more interesting. Unfortunately I do need to makeworld as sendmail needs SMTP-AUTH and that requires a rebuild. Freebsd-update replaces the previous build with one without it. However, I did keep the logs from both buildworld and buildkernel. Embedded in both of them is VERSION="FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE i386 902001. I seem to recall that uname gets its info from motd which shows: FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p10 (LAFN) #0: Wed Jul 16 22:26:22 PDT 2014 That is the date/time when I did the buildworld/buildkernel. kern.osrelease and kern.version show the same thing. So, now I don't know if I am running 9.2, 9.3, or a 9.2 kernel and 9.3 world. There must be some way to tell.
