Version inconsistency between jail and host

Hello.

Could someone please tell me the correct way to update my jails?
So far I have been doing
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
ezjail-admin update -u

I've only realised that when I do uname -a, I see that the jails and the host are on the same version FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p9.
However, if I look at the /etc/rc.d/sshd for example, the files is still at release/10.0.0/
The same goes for /etc/ssh/sshd_config $FreeBSD: release/10.0.0/

This got me nervous as to what else is wrong with the system at the moment..

Could anyone please shine a light on this problem?
Have I been using the wrong command?
 
The freebsd-update method is installing binaries only.

If I get you right you worry about this line?
Code: 
# $FreeBSD: releng/10.1/etc/rc.d/sshd 262566 2014-02-27 17:29:02Z des $
If you want a fresh up you could do by running mergemaster with an updated source tree.

Furthermore see this for updating Ezjail-jails: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/ezjail-admin-update-u-lib32-errors.49672/
as you use ezjail-admin update -u .

The problem described there is known for a long time now as can been seen on the developers site. For whatever reason he never responded to the problem. As a consequence of that I changed my method to ezjail-admin update -i which uses a previously local buildworld from updated sources, which makes the freebsd-update-method "obsolete". If I do remember this well wblock@ pushed for this Ezjail feature. BTW thanks for that Warren! :)
Now if you were to use this method and want to have updated /etc you have to run something like mergemaster -Ui within the jail.

Hope this helps.

They're always the same, even if your jail is really an older version. Keep in mind that uname -a shows the kernel version and there's always only one kernel (the jails use the host's kernel, they don't have one themselves).
