Thanks for posting what you found back to the list - helped me when I hit something similar today, so I'm posting for the archives and it might help someone else. Upgraded i386 4.4 to 4.5 via release CD; all went well. Applied first five patches, rebooted, could not connect over ssh. Went to machine, typed ifconfig, and got a number of messages along the lines of: SIOCGIFNETMASK: Device not configured (reboot gave the same messages.) Google told me my kernel and userland out of sync, and eventually looked like it was the libssl patch; when rebuilding sbin (noticeable in my case when using ifconfig.) Did as you suggested - a make clean - and back in business. Thanks again, Richard. > Robert Urban wrote: >> Hi Folks, >> >> I recently upgraded a 4.4 system to 4.5.
