Hello all, I'm trying to figure out which version I'm currently using. The sysctl return the following values: kern.osreldate: 502101 kern.osrelease: 5.2 - CURRENT Which version is that ? Is it plain 5.2 current or 5.2.1 ? Also very important, where can I download it from ? Any help will be appreciated! Thanks, pgal

In short, you should upgrade to a release supported for security fixes (see http://www.freebsd.org/security/ ), ie. 5.3 or newer. -- Simon L.

It's 5-CURRENT between 2003/12/19 and 2004/01/30. A clean 5.2-RELEASE, or 5.2 with only security patches applied, would have an osreldate in the range 502000 - 502099. Your system was either upgraded manually from sources, or installed from a snapshot (if any were made in that time span), and is probably subject to a number of known security vulnerabilities.
