hail all,


I use FreeBSD for a long time and now I'm changing my routers slowly

to OpenBSD. I have one router running 4.2-current (or anything like

this, uname shows 4.2 but motd shows 4.2-current. I confess this still

confuses me) and I'm studying it to be confident enough to make it the

one.


but my main question is, how to make obsd allways up to date, keeping

it bug free. mas from time to time there is security bugs found and so

on.


for what I saw in obsd web

site(http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#Flavors), when 4.1 is

released 3.9 is not suported aymore.


my question is, how to keep up to date if putting a cdrom and boot for

upgrade for me is too much of a problem for me ? and also, just as an

example (I'm really not trying to make flame wars or such things, I

just want to know how to make things in obsd) in Freebsd i can compile

and make almost everything yep online and running. just reboot and if

everything is fine, the downtime is just of the reboot itself.


as a pf fan, and as i prefer to use pf in obsd itself, is there a way

to do things this way in obsd ?


thanks,


matheus
