To answer your original question, then, if you haven't done so yourself already: You need to update /usr/src and (probabley) rebuild kernel and world. Stick with releng_4, then follow the -stable instructions on the page. Otherwise if you don't want to go through the hassle, my original advice should work wonders. :) All the best, Alex Trull Systems and Network Administrator & Information Commissioner C : +44 (0) 7966 203990 | Hybyte Solutions & Services Ltd D : +44 (0) 2079 764219 | 114-116 Rochester Row S : +44 (0) 2079 764200 | Victoria, London F : +44 (0) 2079 764229 | SW1P 1JQ http://mail.uk.hybyte.net/~atrull/pgppub.key
