( What the original poster was thinking of is ( the patchlevel that gets incremented every ( time a new security (or nowadays: errata) ( patch is applied to any of the -RELEASE ( branches. That modifies the OS name (ie. ( the output of 'uname -r') That is exactly right Matthew. I thought (assumed) that "#0" in the uname -a output was the patchlevel of the OS. At this point in my life, I'm not so concerned about what that number is, but rather I am running the most secure and stable patchlevel available. So if I set my cvs tag as Ezequiel (thank you) suggested: change: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE to: *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_2_1 That will get me the latest patches? I'll make that change and rebuild again today. Thanks all for your help. :) Scotthelp
