We have numerous fbsd boxes with versions from 4.2 on up. I know I need to cvsup RELENG_4_4 for 4.4-RELEASE, RELENG_4_5 for 4.5, and RELENG_4_6 for 4.6. What's not clear to me is: Are the security patches included in RELENG_4 to use for earlier 4.x boxes? In other words, are the libc problem and the openssl problem and the bind problem and whatever else problem has been advised about recently taken care of in RELENG_4 ?? Thanks much for your advice. - Ralph To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
