That's why you do a cvsup and 'make world' now and again... See the FreeBSD Handbook articles on Synchronizing Your Source (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/synching.html) and Using Make World (http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html) and my cheat sheets under Staying Stable at http://www.mostgraveconcern.com/freebsd/ For keeping ported applications up to date, check out 'man pkgversion'. >2) I keep getting: > >arp: 192.168.0.1 is on lo0 but got reply from 00:50:ba:47:d0:ba on ed0 > >messages in my nightly security logs. My network is properly configured and >I have a well-built, tested firewall. Can I disable arp? What you are seeing is some other customer of your ISP (you have DSL or Cable, right?) using the same internal address range that you are, only *their* system isn't set up right and their internal addresses are leaking out to your ISP's router. I had this happen while I was using 10.0.0.x addresses. Once I picked something obscure, like 10.23.157.x, I stopped getting those annoying arp messages. I'd suggest you change your internal network to something a little less likely to be duplicated by someone else. >3) Where can I find info to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2? You can do it via source.
