180: interface layer, make sure that they have no pointers to
181: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
182: which could result in a memory free operation at the wrong
183: protection level.

200: may automatically group SA bundles together.
201: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
202: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.

701: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
702: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
703: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
704: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
705: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
706: with a command like:
707:
708: <blockquote><pre>
709: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
710: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>
711: </pre></blockquote>
712:
713: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
714: server.]
715: <p>
716: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
717: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
718: <p>
719: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
720: would like to know more, the mailing list
721: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
