As a result, things can break if the kernel is updated without lsof also being updated. PORTS_MODULES will take case of this for those who build the kernel from source. Things get rather messy if you use freebsd-update or packages though, as the packaging system sees no reason to make a new lsof package. I have no idea how to properly handle this.

Lynis and lsof
Hello. security/lynis seems to like having lsof available. However sysutils/lsof isn't listed as a dependency (whether optional or not). Would it be possible to add it, as a convenience? I can provide the patch and/or file a bug report if you'll agree. bye & Thanks av. ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
