At work today I did an ftp install directly from ftp.freebsd.org.
After the install uname says:

FreeBSD mensa.dnaent.com 2.1.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE #0: Sun Nov 24 23:31:18  1996     jkh@whisker.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

The reports I've seen from people who said their uname reports 2.1.6.1
have also mentioned they sup'd the sources.  I think there's a problem
with what's on the ftp site.  I'm wondering what else might be wrong.
