Hi all, Im kinda new to FreeBSD (running 4.5 RELEASE) and Im a bit confused. Im hoping someone can help me understand what I am doing incorrectly, or point me in a direction where I can understand what is happening. As you are all aware a security advisory was released about realpath. I have followed the instructions. downloaded the patch. verified it. ran patch < path to patch built KERNCONF installed KERNCONF then i went and checked the UPDATING, the realpath.c file and the newvers.sh file. According to the email these files were meant to be corrected. The timestamp on the UPDATING and newvers.sh have not changed. and the realpath.c file indicates that it is version 1.9 2000/01/27 instead of 1.9.8.1 as indicated by the advisory. Have I done something wrong? or missed the point? I know i dont really understand it. If someone can explain it to me or point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. A http://personals.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo! Personals - New people, new possibilities! Try Yahoo! Personals, FREE for a limited period!
