2 in it to him. It contains a list, in reverse chronologocal order, of
3 major breakages in tracking -current. Not all things will be listed
4 here, and it only starts on Novemeber 18, 1998. If you have an
5 earlier version of FreeBSD, you are on your own to get to November 18,
9 Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in
10 http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html
11 about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions
12 for doing the upgrade.
15 You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will
16 become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade
17 your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use
18 make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old
19 a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will
20 continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile
24 New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they
25 aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have.
28 New user/group added: bind. From src/etc/master.passwd and
30 % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/group
32 % grep <newstuff> /usr/src/etc/master.passwd
33 tty:*:4:65533::0:0:Tty Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
34 kmem:*:5:65533::0:0:KMem Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
35 bind:*:53:53::0:0:Bind Sandbox:/:/sbin/nologin
38 PAM integrated into the tree. Requires new /etc/pam.conf file
39 to silence warnings from authentication programs (login, etc).
40 See src/etc/pam.conf for a sample.
