Hello,
I've a simple question. I'm not system administrator so maybe my knowledge is a bit outdated.
So, I've 4 simple, cheap VPS servers (web, builder, devel (port maintaining) and backup) and it's a little complicated thing to login to every server and run pkg upgrade or freebsd-update fetch...

Hi,
despite reading and re-reading the manual, I have an extremely hard time understanding how to keep my FreeBSD host and my FreeBSD jails secure.
I am going to try to express my current understanding of FreeBSD as maybe the problem is that I don't understand it.
There seems to be on one...
Since I have quite a few FreeBSD installations on a totally closed network, I'm looking to
create a local mirror to update/upgrade these installations.

I just got FreeBSD running on a raspberry pi. I tried a few different ISO files before finding one I could successfully boot.
The one that worked for me was FreeBSD-11.0-RC3-arm-armv6-RPI2.img.
After install I realised there is not only 11.0-RC3 available, but also 11.0-RELEASE.

Hello.
I think the community has been undesirably quiet and secretive about the recent known vulnerabilities, such as these:

Are there still other known vulnerabilities currently?

Hi,
I upgraded to 10.3 from 9.3 couple of weeks ago using buildworld, buildkernel, installkernel, installword.
Now I cannot binary update:

I am still quite new to FreeBSD, and so I stumble from question to question :)
Today I upgraded some of our servers from 10.2 to 10.3 and this really drove me nuts.

First of all, I checked this thread. Since the thread was old and it doesn't solve my problem, I decided to make a new thread. (I'm not sure if that is accepted behavior or not, being new to the forum.)

Hi,
I'd like to know if you have a good way of keeping a system completely up to date in a completely automated way.
