I occasionally csup /usr/src and have a gander at /usr/src/UPDATING, but I don't understand to the fullest extent what security holes may affect my system. What do you suggest that I do so that I am informed immediately when I need to upgrade from 7.0-RELEASE to something else because of a security hole that affects my system? How will I know?
