Freebsd-update 'sees' p3. Is this the cause? No $ uname -r 8.2-RELEASE-p4 In the above 8.2 is the release and p4 means that it's the fourth update on the 8.2 security branch. freebsd-update is warning you that your release will soon be unsupported, so there will be no more security updates. You need to update to a supported release. http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html
