For some reason when i type uname -a on my desktop, which is running 7.1, all I see is this: $ uname -a FreeBSD me 7.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE #0: Thu Jan 1 08:58:24 UTC 2009 root@driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 But if i run freebsd-update fetch i get this $ sudo freebsd-update fetch Password: Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-RELEASE from update2.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. No updates needed to update system to 7.1-RELEASE-p3. Everytime the application has said there are new updates i installed them with `freebsd-update install`, and eventually i got around to restarting, but when I log back in and type `uname -a` I get the same message as above: `7.1-RELEASE #0` Now on a seperate system running 7.0 I have a similar problem where uname -a always reports `7.0-RELEASE-p7 #0` even though freebsd-update reports Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.0-RELEASE from update2.FreeBSD.org... done. Fetching metadata index... done. Inspecting system... done. Preparing to download files... done. No updates needed to update system to 7.0-RELEASE-p10. Now I'm new to the BSD world, but i do have a fair amount of experience with Linux. What I am trying to figure out here, is why uname -a reports a different patch number than it should. Thanks James -- James <james@slohall.com>
