I'd like to use "freebsd-update IDS" as a simple intrusion check. I have 
a separate mechanism to test that
freebsd-update itself hasn't been modified.

However I get lots of lines like this:

/usr/share/man/man4/if_ixgbe.4.gz has SHA256 hash 
859cc19faf7a511755409aa143b24ccb2c998bbc99a5972d1d7aa70f37611a65, but 
should have SHA256 hash 
5652698ae3834e8cfbb2d0e5a95fe7984a6656f0a6c792e88ea8f2c75873555e.


Two questions:

1. What causes these mismatches? Does IDS not take into account minor 
updates or something else?

2. Is there a simple way to fix this that doesn't involve a system 
reinstall? Just unzip the FreeBSD tz files and copy over the relevant 
bits? Could that be added as a feature to the IDS command?
