Such differences can occur if you 1st - make update 2nd - build and install world and kernel 3rd - make update again 4th - build and install kernel only It can as well happen if you "make install" for a certain part of the OS (from the /usr/src tree) only. An indication of the current version of any part of the OS or the kernel can be obtained from the $FreeBSD$ CVS tag on a per-file basis. But note that these don't refer to a RELEASE or STABLE notation. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
