BTW, you could want to subscribe to security-advisories@freebsd.org. They come complete with instructions, e. g. yesterday's FreeBSD-SA-03:01.cvs: ... b) Execute the following commands as root: # cd /usr/src # patch < /path/to/patch # cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs # make obj && make depend && make && make install ... -- If you cc me or remove the list(s) completely I'll most likely ignore your message. see http://www.eyrie.org./~eagle/faqs/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
