Of course it isn't, that's why you can build on a master server (make buildworld), then mount the src and obj directories over NFS and install (make installworld). > Is there some way to roll binary only changes off one server tracking > -stable?

Yup and yup, subscribe to the security mailing list and the CVS mailing list, take special note of all changes done to RELENG_4 (-stable) when you see any special ones that you think may be essential, then run your update. Also, running a local cvsup-mirror is as easy as: cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-mirror && make install answer a few questions... and you're set. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
