I had a similar problem: after the update (I cvsup'd on sunday morning) the system was able to send packages but unable to receive any (both via rl0).=20 After several hours I finally found a solution that works for me: I rm'd /usr/src, installed the sources from the 4.8-RELEASE-CD, rebuild the whole system (userland and kernel), cvsup'd to STABLE (sunday afternoon) and rebuild the whole system again ... after that the problem was gone Maybe deleting /usr/src and cvsup'ing to STABLE again is enough ... mfg worldi > Greetings, >=20 > I cvsup'd and rebuilt a FreeBSD 4.8 system last Friday after receiving > the realpath security advisory.
