A basic administration question, but one that has me stumped. Is there anyway (other than manual documentation) to find out what patches have been applied on a system? Something like pkg_info is what I am thinking of.
Thanks

Well this reply is a little late but there's no pkg_info like utility that I'm aware of that you can use to see what patches have been applied to yuour system.
The FAQ goes over patching here:
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq10.html#Patches
Mini0n has written a patching how-to here:

Also towards the end of this thread there's advice given by both frisco and Mini0n on how to tell if patches have been successfully applied.

Sorry for such a late response.
