unfortunately, this is the dark side of FreeBSD security patch
management :) and I think also the main reason FreeBSD isn't so
widely deployed into enterprise environments. It's ok for hacking or
managing few boxes but try to imagine how to manage security on
hundreds of them this way. :(
on the other side (bright side :) you can try to use unofficial and
often somewhat slowly updating solutions such as bsdupdate
(www.bsdupdates.com) or freebsd-update (from ports tree).
currently, FreeBSD just don't have a mechanism to handle security
advisories in quick way.
any suggestions/corrections ?
j.
your totally right, even though i hate to admit it. stuff like having to
make world is a nightmare when admining lots of machines. i can't afford
to make world only to find something screwed up, stuff like that would
cost me a lot of time i can't afford.
the make world documents mentioning backing up your system. it fails to
give any preffered methods or utilites for doing this. anyone got some
input on that.
