Because of this, = people needlessly worry whether their system was updated correctly after = freebsd-update has run, because they erroneously check this with = =E2=80=98uname -a=E2=80=99. A small motd change will hopefully prevent = that. Cheers, WH --=20 Walter Hop | PGP key: https://lifeforms.nl/pgp
