      Sorry guys - hate me for a little while - but

      Is there a place - form that a new "PFSense" UsEr can go to to find out basic info on updating installed packages?

      I noticed snort is up to 2.8 and I don't think PFSense is auto updating (yet) (Or can I make it auto update - theres a thought)

      Thanks - and sorry for not seeing what I'm searching for and being a helpless being.

        It doesn't auto update.  Simply go into System -> Packages -> Installed Packages -> And click the reinstall button.

          Well I must have clicked the wrong thing - cause it only re-installed. Didn't upgrade to 2.8 version.

          Guess it would be cool if the installed package page had a little clicker by each package labeled - check for update and update.

          But - hey its free software - pretty cool stuff at that

            The released version of snort and the version available in the packages aren't necessarily going to be the same thing.

            As for the updates - if you visit the "Installed Packages" page it'll show you any packages that have updates to apply.  See, simple ;)
