Tracking Security in Ports and Base System

As an addendum:

I forgot to mention that its a good idea when updating sources or
ports to wrap the process in "script" so that you have a log of what
was actually done.

	script /path/to/someplace_with_space/scriptname

Then run the commands for the process involved.  When you are finished
then type "exit" to stop the "script" process.  You will have a
complete log of everything that was displayed.

If you have any problems during an update, then people may ask for
a log excerpt to see the actual problem.

For more information on "script":  man script

HTH,

Randy
