(telnetd,=20 > openssh, etc ...) Depends what you mean by safe. If you are certain you know every file touched by the change, including dependencies, then you can do this. But if that was the case then you probably wouldn't have needed to ask the question. The _safe_ thing to do is a full rebuild of world, kernel, and /etc following the procedure in the handbook, so you know you're not missing anything. > Is it safe to keep a CURRENT ports tree together with a userland that=20 > is not in synch (i.e. does not belong to CURRENT)? Yes..there are only a few ports like lsof which have their fingers deep in kernel data structures which often get broken when you update the kernel.
