The code/patch in question was committed to the RELENG_6 tree a while ago. All you need to do is cvsup/csup your sourcecode to the most "recent snapshot/version" of 6.2 (not what's on the CD, and not 6.2-RELEASE), and that should suffice. For instructions on how to do this, see: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html Note that 6, however, comes with a tool called "csup" (the C version of cvsup), which performs identically and does not require you to install ports/net/cvsup. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
