When updating via cvsup, you should *always* do the following: 1) cvsup 2) make buildworld 3) make buildkernel 4) make installkernel 5) reboot in single-user mode 6) run mergemaster -p 7) make installworld 8) run mergemaster Then, double-check /etc/rc.conf against /etc/defaults/rc.conf to see if there are any important changes in startup functionality. Then, and only then, should it be safe to reboot. If you've merged in any changes under /etc/mail, you should also cd /etc/mail and make all install before rebooting as well.
