Hi folks,
I've done a couple of fresh installs on 7.0-RELEASE today, and
subsequently run freebsd-update. freebsd-update reports:
The following files will be updated as part of updating to
7.0-RELEASE-p3:
/boot/kernel/kernel
/boot/kernel/kernel.symbols
/usr/bin/dig
/usr/bin/host
/usr/bin/nslookup
/usr/bin/nsupdate
/usr/include/netinet/tcp.h
/usr/lib/libssh.a
/usr/lib/libssh.so.4
/usr/lib/libssh_p.a
/usr/sbin/dnssec-signzone
/usr/sbin/lwresd
/usr/sbin/named
/usr/sbin/named-checkconf
/usr/sbin/named-checkzone
/usr/sbin/named-compilezone
/usr/sbin/sshd
/usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp.h
/usr/src/sys/netinet/tcp_output.c
which leads me to conclude I've got -p3, including the BIND update.
However 'uname -a' says something else:
FreeBSD mumble.ucsc.edu 7.0-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p2 #0: Wed
Jun 18 07:33:20 UTC 2008
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
And although /usr/sbin/named has been updated, it appears not to have
been upgraded:
$ /usr/sbin/named -v
BIND 9.4.2
Thoughts?
You've got p3, don't worry. There was no kernel update in p3, hence
you got the p2 GENERIC kernel. If you want uname to actually show p3,
you will have to recompile your kernel, using something like this
(assuming you got the kernel sources installed and intend to keep
using GENERIC):
cd /usr/src
make buildkernel installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC
and then reboot
However the only difference will be in the -p number, nothing else so
you don't have to do it.
FWIW, the /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh contains the -p number you see
in uname, and this changes everytime freebsd-update fetches updates -
whether they include kernel updates or not. Some people (especially
those responsible for large number of machines) will recompile the
kernel anyway, so they can easily see their patchlevel using uname.

Another way I'm TRYING to get into the habit of doing, to find the
patches applied to a system is to make a dir, such as something like
/root/updates
In this directory I place all the *.asc and *.diff or *.patch files that
apply to the updates. This way the uname can give me some very good
information, but the patches and updates I've received (either via
freebsd-update or via rebuilding world) have been recorded, and it's on
a host-by-host basis this way too.
I hope this helps anybody in their administration tasks.
