Hi Tom, I don't know how much documentation there is on this, but if you are investigating this issue, maybe you would like to contribute/update some documentation on it? Royce gave me a link to the tools, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/projects/freebsd-update-server/ reading through some of the scripts might give some clues. Regards, Daniel Bond.
