Hello,
  I am about to participate in the implementation of several production
servers running FreeBSD 4.1. I am familiar with FreeBSD, having used it
personally for several years, however, I have always applied patches by
cvsuping sources and recompiling. This will not be possible in this
enviroment, however, as recompiling the the entire source will clobber
several custom compiled programs/daemons on these servers. Is there a
link or site with a "how-to" on how to apply for example, kernel
patches, as I hear there may be one coming for this supposed attack on
Yahoo? If there is no site, could someone out there give me a quick and
dirty tutorial. We do also have several people in our shop that do know
C and C++ so if I don't understand it, they will. 


Thank you in advance.
