That's probably the critical question now. Though, sorry to say, there is nowhere written that you have to rm -Rf it, when you - upgrade - patch Actually, I wasn't even aware of the existence of this directory until several minutes ago. (I expected it to be cleaned with wiping the source directories.) Then, according to what is written by a number of people further up, an number of people could be hit by this. I for one would expect the time stamps to take care for that. And, to stress it again: When you are under 'quality control', and responsible for the uptime of a system, you would never do anything out of the scope of instructions, naturally. especially not some rm -Rf * in a directory of your arbitrary choice. ;) And don't point me to man release, please. I am not doing releases, I am not doing stable, I do, like many others, 'Upgrade Guide X.Y to X.Z', and then get and apply the errata from http://openbsd.org/errataXZ.html; according to their instructions. If this happens to be wrong, by all means, then I make a mistake, and have been making this mistake for 5 years. So, rm -Rf * in /usr/obj is necessary? Uwe
