    I have a virtual server running FreeBSD. The ISP
    claims it's version 4.10, but when I do a "uname -a" I
    get the following:

    FreeBSD <domain> 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0:
    Fri Nov 12 09:18:00 PST 2004
    root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/IPW i386

    This leads me to beleive it's 4.8.

    Using /stand/sysinstall I performed and upgrade to
    4.10-RELEASE (selecting the Developer package).

    Code and binary was downloaded through passive ftp
    from ftp2.freebsd.org and everything looked to go
    well. I got a confirmation saying I simply needed to
    exit the install and I would be in the upgraded
    version.

    After exiting the install, uname command returns the
    same results as before (4.8-RELEASE).

    I did notice that when I return to sysinstall it's in
    pretty colors now, however, when I go to the "Options"
    I see that the Release Name is still defaulting to 4.8

    Did the upgrade really work?

    I am accessing this machine via SSH. Last time I
    tried such an upgrade, I had a problem getting back
    into the machine once I logged out. The SSH daemon
    was unable to start, complaining about "PRNG not
    seeded".
