I did this on a lab box and found no problems, however I may be missing something. The reason I can't do the "correct" thing and upgrade the base system is that these are live boxes in a remote facility (different state). The reason this ties into freebsd-security and not -questions is I'm still waiting for official word on a patch/upgrade procedure from the team. Am I being impatient here or did I miss something? I checked back over security-notifications and saw nothing. To illustrate what I did: L# find / -name tcpdump /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump /usr/local/tcpdump-3.7.2/tcpdump /usr/sbin/tcpdump ... L# rm /usr/sbin/tcpdump L# ln -s /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump /usr/sbin/tcpdump L# tcpdump -V tcpdump version 3.7.2 ===== ----------------------------------------------------------- Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never fear defeat. ----------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
