When I go to my FreeBSD box through ftp and go to directory /bin and do an ls, I see that two files have at least been touched (could have been me, but I am not sure) on December 13th. They are ls and ps. ps still seems to work though. Can I safely do a make depend && make && make install from their directories in /usr/src/bin or should I do something else to rebuild them.
