Hello. Please also answer to my mailbox as I'm not on the list. After upgrading by sources and build world, uname correctly reports the current version of the system Today for the first time I applied all the relevant patches instead and all went well. The box was 5.3-RELEASE-p23. The applied patches should correspond to 5.3-RELEASE-p24, but: # uname -r 5.3-RELEASE-p23 and: # sysctl kern.version kern.version: FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE-p23 #0: Tue Jan 3 15:40:08 CET 2006 ... I'd like to be able to see the correct version using 'uname -r'.. Does anybody know how can you make uname report the real version? What if you recompile the kernel after patching the system? Would that do the trick? Thank you and best regards. -- Robi
