It appears to be a very simple process. I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.8 and from my understanding you can keep your sources up to date via CVSup. Does this mean if I were to do a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.8 and then CVSup my source all known security issues would be resolved for the particular FreeBSD I'm running? Would the following supfile update all of my sources for FreeBSD 4.8? *default tag=RELENG_4_8 *default host cvsup3.FreeBSD.org *default prefix=/usr *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default release=cvs delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all I currently update all known security issues via patch < /path/to/patch method and following the instructions for each security advisor. Thank You Alden Louis-Pierre
