Google turns up a binary upgrade as the only way I can get to RELENG_6. Is this still the case (because the logistics on arranging that are ... interesting) or is there a relatively safe way to upgrade from RELENG_4 to RELENG_6 remotely? Yes, I do have OOB access to the box in question... -- patrick
