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

194: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>
195: af-to ICMP packet conversions.

203: more strictly in
204: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/pf.4">pf(4)</a>.

208: <a href="http://man.openbsd.org/ipsecctl.8">ipsecctl(8)</a>
209: may automatically group SA bundles together.
210: To make clear what is going on, the kernel provides this
211: information and ipsecctl -s sa prints IPsec SA bundles.

735: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
736: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
737: with a command like:
738:
739: <blockquote><pre>
740: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
741: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_1</b>

743:
744: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
745: server.]
746: <p>
747: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
748: ports for the 6.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
749: <p>
750: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
751: would like to know more, the mailing list
752: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
