extrapolate that we have a general problem deleting non-FreeBSD slices.

I thought a patch was floating around for this, but seem to have lost
it -- could someone please send it to me?
prior to the release, and populate with two items:
- Potential problems with if_ie, if_le, and if_wl from Sam Leffler's
API changes. He'd like to see immediate testing and feedback regarding
these drivers.
- Additional testing for the vlan code, which was changed in a variety
of ways late in the development cycle.
Additional submissions welcome.
information on the specific cards that are seeing failures. I'd like
to see more testing of the mly and iir drivers with other configurations
to see if it's a general driver problem. For both of these configurations,
4.7-RELEASE appears to work just fine.
(1) obrien is reporting problems using smbfs to access Win2k shares, and
there have been other less specific reports of problems with smbfs.
Testing of smbfs in various environments, and fixing of bugs, is
much encouraged.
(2) NETNCP and newfs appear still not to be reconnected to the build from
the original KSE integration work, and do not build. Fixing these
is complicated by an apparent lack of Netware installs easily
available to developers, meaning that while syntactic fixes might
be made, it's difficult to know if they are right.
Developers are encouraged to explore these problems and see if we can't
work out what's going on: smbfs and nwfs are both very important to
the success of FreeBSD 5.0.
been resolved. Some still remain regarding OpenSSH/OpenPAM.
Add a task item relating to the lastlog permission denied warning from
OpenSSH, and set ownership to DES.
sleeping while holding an inpcb mutex. Probably the IP stack is
sleeping somewhere while holding the mutex (under high load), which
violates assertions regarding the use of mutexes. If this can be
reproduced using WITNESS, it should be easy to debug.
problems for the release. Add fixing them to the RC1 todo list, no
owner. These include a race condition in the attaching of truss to
procfs, and a bug wherein running truss on binary not present results
in a hang in truss (it appears to spin).
Remove X11 instability issue, it was fixed by peter, bde, and others as
part of ABI and signal compat.
Replace DP2 requirements section with an RC1 requirements section.
Add a final release requirement that we tone down the debugging
options.
Remove the TrustedBSD MAC framework system call interface item: it's
done.
Remove the GEOM as default storage management framework: it's done.
Update the KerberosV/OpenPAM issue: nectar fixed bugs in the PAM module
with the help (hinderance) of phkmalloc. Some bugs remain in the
OpenSSH integration area.
Add a new item for the creation of a freebsd-games port, requested
by kkenn. Assign markm as owner.
Add a new item for the creation of an a.out buildchain port, requested
by kkenn.
DEVELOPERS: please review the todo list and make sure it accurately
captures the list of "must be done" things for 5.0-RELEASE.
