You have cvsuped to the stable branch of FreeBSD V4 which is tagged RELENG_4 and is currently named 4.5-PRERELEASE. It will soon be named 4.5-RC1 and eventually 4.5-STABLE. All are stable at different points on the path that produces a snapshot that is tagged as a release. (So you did nothing wrong.) Please refer to the handbook section on "The Cutting Edge" for a detailed description. Also, DON'T copy and /etc/defaults file into etc! The way it works is that /etc files carry CHANGES to the values supplied in the /etc/defaults files. SO never edit the /etc/defaults and don't copy them into etc. Just create a /etc file with changes you wish to make to the defaults. R.
