This is what sysctl kern.version tells me:

kern.version=OpenBSD 4.2 (GENERIC) #375: Tue Aug 28 10:38:44 MDT 2007
    deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

kern.version=OpenBSD 4.2-current (GENERIC) #410: Fri Oct  5 22:31:12 MDT 2007
    deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

kern.version=OpenBSD 4.2-current (GENERIC) #468: Sun Oct 28 19:57:49 MDT 2007
    deraadt@i386.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC

Can you confirm that means it is the official 4.2 release? (I'm hoping this is the case...)

Yeah - I think this is where a few of them were gathered up from.

I was following: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade42.html#upgrade under "Upgrading without install kernel" I don't have physical access to the server, so "Upgrading by install kernel" is not an option.

Thanks for your help!
