Ah, but then again this is more likely a side effect of using: # freebsd-update fetch install In any case, fetch should now fail if it fetched updates... Cheers, Franco
We will soon (this Tuesday) issue another SA that would be used as a vehicle to deliver a new EoL date to 11.0, but since it's EoL is really close, please consider upgrading to 11.1-RELEASE at your earliest convenience.
