for router - not much :) there are for sure some security flawed programs 
on them, but what's a problem. every IP except some listed numbers are 
just blocked, dns server is cache-only with queries disabled from outside 
(and by netbsd's ipf to make sure), no outside-reachable services are 
running.

that's about security :)


about patches - why to patch fully WORKING thing.
