    So running my sample CVSup supfile would not patch my system for the 
security advisories from SA-03:08 - SA-0318(as of 10/19/03)?  I'm under 
the impression this supfile would take care of security advisories, 
being that I'm updating the /usr directory.  For everything to take in 
effect I must build and install my kernel as well?  I'm looking through 
the FreeBSD Handbook and I don't
see this extra step. 

Thank You
