Hi,

When a security update happens, like the last one with the proc fs, what is the
required drill?
I usually rebuild world, rebuild kernel and reboot. I want to know if that is
necessary,
I don't think it is but I'm betting for the safe side (rebuilding the kernel).
So, what should I do
I have an options PROCFS line on my kernel, so for this update I assume I had
to rebuild my kernel.
But for other updates, how do I know what steps are necessary (like just
rebuilding the kernel, making world, or both; also, do I have to reset)?


Thanks for your patience,

Mario Doria
