Do you even read the Security Notices? They include links to get individual patches. You can click on them even, at least I assume you can in Eudora. You have the right to cry at the wind about FreeBSD all you like, but find some new questions. The three you always ask (and are always answered) are getting old. And if you don't like the answers, I'm looking forward to BrettBSD, or the annoucement of you as a new contributer to FreeBSD. -- Matt Piechota To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
