hello! i'm a very new freebsd user/admin. i run my own server since 1 month ago, i 've been told about a security issue with sendmail. i read about it on the security ad ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-06:13.sendmail= .ascand I don't know how could i get my system patch or upgraded. some people tell me to quit using sendmail and try postfix, but i would like to fix sendmail and try to configure it... I installed the system with a freebsd5.4 release cd. i downloaded the patch and when I excuted it i realized that i don't have the source code of sendmail since i started the installation with de cd-rom standard installation. what am i supposed to do now? patch or upgrade. what is the easy way? i have compiled some little C code for college practices and installed some bsd-ports with make install but now i'm a little bit lost here... thanks for your help. Gonzalo.
