148: man page.
149: <li>When sending TCP streams they are locally stored in large

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

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

698: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
699: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
700: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
701: with a command like:
702:
703: <blockquote><pre>
704: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
705: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>

707:
708: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
709: server.]
710: <p>
711: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
712: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
713: <p>
714: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
715: would like to know more, the mailing list
716: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
