---- System Update Information:
|
|
|
|
<strong>o /usr/sbin/sysctl is an invalid link and whereis(1) doesn't work.</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: sysctl(8) has actually moved to /sbin/sysctl. Simply create
|
|
a symbolic link for compatability purposes as follows:
|
|
|
|
ln -sf /sbin/sysctl /usr/sbin
|
|
|
|
or syncronize your sources with 2.2-stable and rebuild/install
|
|
from /usr/src/usr.bin/whereis/ and just rm /usr/sbin/sysctl
|
|
|
|
<strong>o /usr/share/doc/FAQ is in spanish.</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: This was a build failure which affected only the FAQ and has since
|
|
been fixed. If you are already cvsup/CTM'ing the doc-all tag then
|
|
you can simply remake and install the FAQ from sources, otherwise
|
|
grab ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/FAQ.tar.gz and unpack
|
|
as follows: tar --unlink -xvzf FAQ.tar.gz -C /usr/share/doc
|
|
to get an english FAQ.
|
|
|
|
<strong>o getpwnam(3) semantics are incorrect in some cases.</strong>
|
|
|
|
Fix: If passed a string longer than the maximum allowed for a user name,
|
|
getpwnam will incorrectly return an entry for a user that matches the
|
|
initial characters in the string up to the maximum length allowed for a
|
|
user name. To correct this behaviour, libc needs to be patched and
|
|
recompiled. The appropriate patch can be obtained from:
|
|
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c.diff?r1=1.35.2.2&r2=1.35.2.3
