Here i make heavy use of rsync + scp tu update my web sites mirror. i didn't thought about it to sync my systems... saying that every BSD machine is in securelevel 2 with [/usr]/[s]bin[/*] chflaged to schg, do you think that "pkg_create" is a better solution than make world on every one ? (i've got 4 FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE). [i remember some persons didn't agree with this protection method. do you have any URL to point me to in order to discuss this subject (again ?)] with pkg_create, do i pack the binaries ? do i pack everything in the dirs mentioned before ? how to trace only the changed binaries (the cvsup log ?) ? which method do you prefer ? (for now i make world everywhere...) is there any URL or doc where some of them are already discussed (in order not to spend your time on it) ? regards, --- Olivier Cortes free software admin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
