If you perform another freebsd-update, it should show no updates for 8.1-p1. Based on what you are saying, uname is reporting correctly. Other than 'sys/conf/newvers.sh,' if the update touches sys, it should redistribute the kernel and the patch number in the announcement. After it is properly applied, 'uname' should match. I don't recall the reasoning behind newvers.sh in the update software, but others may have an idea. -jgh
