    Is this what you're looking for?

    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
