Keeping your apps up-to-date is kinda proactively secure. Anyway, we always have the latest ports tree (it's actually mounted read-only via NFS on every FreeBSD machine at our site) and if you don't want to update all at once - just don't use portupgrade -a. And yes, in case your whole ports tree is fresh, portupgrade -rR glib will upgrade all dependencies and dependants (recursively). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
