In many cases, that's it, but there are lots of possible issues. Do you run BIND? LPRng? Postfix? ... Any of these would make re-building with a custom /etc/make.conf essential. And, don't forget to update you kernel config file as per the new LINT file. Something may well have changed. I also use the CPUTYPE option. This is not a recommendation to use it, but crypto is possibly faster with it and all of connections to other systems are encrypted, so this might actually be worthwhile for me. R.
