Hello all, New to FreeBSD and its patching process. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here? I am attempting to patch for this vulnerability: http://www.freebsd.se/article.php?story=20111005084639274 (FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix [REVISED])

[cmd=]uname -a[/cmd]
Code: 
8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 18:07:27 UTC 2011     [email]root@i386-
builder.daemonology.net[/email]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

Command I am attempting:
[cmd=]sudo patch </usr/src/unix-linux.patch[/cmd]
Code: 
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Click to expand...
Patches generally have relative paths (starting somewhere in the filesystem tree), not absolute paths (starting in the root).

You'll probably want to # cd /usr/src/ before issuing the patch command.
