Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-security@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello, I am about to participate in the implementation of several production servers running FreeBSD 4.1. I am familiar with FreeBSD, having used it personally for several years, however, I have always applied patches by cvsuping sources and recompiling. This will not be possible in this enviroment, however, as recompiling the the entire source will clobber several custom compiled programs/daemons on these servers. Is there a link or site with a "how-to" on how to apply for example, kernel patches, as I hear there may be one coming for this supposed attack on Yahoo? If there is no site, could someone out there give me a quick and dirty tutorial. We do also have several people in our shop that do know C and C++ so if I don't understand it, they will. Thank you in advance. -- Regards, Daniel Hauer. http://www.enter.net "The Road To The Internet Starts There!" *************************************************************************** Windoze is for GAMES, UNIX is for the rest of us.
