Hi,
Simple question: how can I tell what version of the system binaries I'm running? Flame-proofing follows.
Searches on this mailing list and google tell me 'uname -a' is the ticket, but that doesn't seem to get what I want. Here's the testing I've done.
* Install 5.3 from cd on two machines
* CVSup /usr/src on both to 5.4-STABLE
* On box #1, I configure/upgrade just the kernel (using the "old way")
* On box #2, I do the entire 'make buildworld' through 'mergemaster' as per handbook section 19.4
My understanding is that on box #1 I'm running a 5.4 kernel with 5.3 system binaries (which is a bad thing to do). Box #2 is 5.4 for both. Here's the uname output for both boxes:
box #1: FreeBSD name.domain 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #2: Thu Apr 21 12:02:07 EDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/FIREWALL i386
box #2: FreeBSD name.domain 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #0: Fri May 6 09:46:40 EDT 2005 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SANDBOX i386
I know the first box has 5.3 binaries, but uname -a doesn't indicate that. So how can I tell the first box has mismatched kernel/userspace?
