Not all updates change the kernel so it is very possible for the kernel version (which uname reports) to be older than the latest update installed. In 10.3 there's freebsd-version which reports the system version as distinct from the kernel version to resolve this problem, I'm not sure if it has been backported to 9.3 though - try it and see. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith <steve@sohara.org>
