Right. That's a good symlink to do. The question is, why did ports think you should have /usr/lib/libcrypto.so when you didn't have one? Either you didn't install the crypto distribution, or you didn't build it when you upgarded to a system that had it. > He brings up a good point.

I don't know of one. Upgrading a binary distribution is straightforward, though. Boot the 4.8 CDROM, and select "ugprade". That will give you a long warning about how dangerous all this is - which you should ignore, because you've backed up your system prior to doing this. Go through the upgrade procedure, then use the copy of your config files that it saved - I forget where - to modify the new versions that were installed so your config files are up to date. Alternatively for that last step, you can copy the your version back, and run "/usr/sbin/mergemaster" to merge in the config file changes from 4.8. But getting your config files up to date is the only part that's not simple. If you want to do a source upgrade, the handbook covers that in "the cutting edge". But the sequence is: # cvsup # to get new sources. # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make kernel KERNCONF=whatever # use your kernel config file name here # shutdown -r # reboot new kernel in single user mode. Then, in single user mode # fsck -p # mount -a # cd /usr/src # make installworld # /usr/sbin/mergemaster And again, it should all just work, except for the mergemaster step. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
