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 r...@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.

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.

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
