Just run CVSup to get yourself a copy of the latest sources in /usr/src and read /usr/src/UPDATING for help on compiling everything from source. Since Sendmail is part of the base-system, it will be upgraded too :) This is what i am usually doing, when I do need to upgrade my FreeBSD base system; which happens very infrequently. If you are not running Sendmail that comes with the base-system and you are running a Sendmail version installed from the ports, you can use the normal pkg_xxx commands to remove the old package, and the /usr/ports/mail/sendmail port to install the new one. I would suggest taking a backup copy of your /etc/mail directory first, just to be safe in the funny case that installing the port will clobber existing Sendmail files. [This does not mean that the port *does* clobber existing Sendmail configuration files. It only means that I am upgrading my system with CVSup and I dont know if it does mess with them in some unexpected manner.] -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
