I have experience on it as a user, but limited admin knowledge - my brother graciously helped with the setup. Before we make the machine live (It's acting as a firewall and it's IPFILTER rules are pretty strict at the moment) I want to move from 4.4-RELEASE to 4.4-STABLE. So naturally, I typed: # cvsup /etc/stable-supfile The CVS Update took a while, but completed successfully. Next, I typed: /src # make buildworld KERNCONF=FIREWALL The first time this happened, I got an error so I redid the cvsup and that time buildworld worked with no errors. Finally, I did: /src # make installworld KERNCONF=FIREWALL The first few times this failed until I edited /etc/rc.conf and changed the kern_securelevel parameter back to -1. It worked without errors. I rebooted - successfully. However, when I do a uname -a, it still says 4.4-RELEASE and had my brother's username and the date and time we first installed the kernel. Same thing with dmesg. Any ideas on what I need to do to make sure the cvsup was successful? Thanks in advance. -- B.K.
