Security update policy on FreeBSD

[lukeross]

I've just be transferred by my dedicated server provider onto a machine running DirectAdmin on FreddBSD 4.9. All's going well, but I've got used to keeping up with the security-patches feeds on linux.

Considering that a DA-based system probably uses lots of different packages to plain FreeBSD, who provides sensible security-patch feeds for FreeBSD/DA systems and how does one use them?

[Apologies, this is almost certainly a really silly question, but I'm new to both DA and FreeBSD and don't yet know the local CLI lingo]

I suppose I ought to clarify: when I talk about security patch feeds, I mean a repository of binary packages in the preferred format containing either backported security patches and/or new versions.
