Upgrade FreeBSD ports collection
#portsnap fetch extract
Display outdated ports list
You can list outdated ports list with pkg_version command:
# pkg_version -vIL=
# pkg_version -vIL’<‘
Update FreeBSD packages / software
Now run portmanager to upgrade installed ports:
# portmanager -u
If you need to upgrade all installed ports with logging, enter:
# portmanager -u -l
How do I apply binary security updates for FreeBSD?
# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

By default ports does not create a my.cnf file.
By default MySQL accepts connection over the LAN. I prefer to restrict it to localhost only. Starting with more recent versions of the FreeBSD MySQL port, you can do this:
$ grep mysql /etc/rc.conf
mysql_enable=”YES”
mysql_args=”–bind-address=127.0.0.1″
Then restart mysql:
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh restart
Stopping mysql.
Waiting for PIDS: 90230.
Starting mysql.
Before:
# netstat -an | grep 3306
