a1/kbd.tgz: Patched openvt so that the -s and -w switches can be used together.
ap1/sc.tgz: Upgraded to sc-7.1. Earlier versions were unable to accept dates
beyond Y2K.
(Thanks to Chuck Martin for contributing these fixes)
--------------------------- - Sat Dec 18 15:45:09 CST 1999 a1/elflibs.tgz: Upgrade /lib/libncurses.so.5.0 to ncurses-5.0. a1/hdsetup.tgz: Use new terminfo entries from ncurses-5.0. d1/ncurses.tgz: Upgraded to ncurses-5.0. (19991023) --------------------------- - Sat Nov 27 18:48:45 CST 1999 a1/sh_utils.tgz: Move /usr/bin/sleep to /bin/sleep, make a symlink in /usr/bin to make metamail's audiocompose happy. a1/sysvinit.tgz: Carry a 512 byte entropy pool between reboots in /etc/random-seed. This improves the security of anything using /dev/urandom as an entropy source. Also, try to shut down RAID devices in /etc/rc.d/rc.6 if we see that an /etc/mdtab exists on the system. ap1/raidtool.tgz: Add missing symbolic links: ln -s /sbin/mdadd /sbin/mdrun ln -s /sbin/mdadd /sbin/mdstop n1/bind.tgz: Upgraded to bind-8.2.2-P5. This fixes a vulnerability in the processing of NXT records that can be used in a DoS attack or (theoretically) be exploited to gain access to the server. It is suggested that everyone running bind upgrade to this package as soon as possible. n1/pine.tgz, n1/imapd.tgz: The Pine that shipped with 7.0 had the known issue of pine.conf being looked for in /usr/local/lib, instead of /usr/lib/pine. This package patches that to make it look for pine.conf in /usr/lib/pine, as well as upgrading to Pine 4.21, which includes a non-buggy and non-beta (some users still reported problems with imap 4.7beta) version of imapd. n1/tcpip1.tgz: Removed /usr/bin/write, which seems to have some problems handling the new ptys. The version provided by util.tgz works fine. ----- Upgraded to nfs-server-2.2beta47, to fix a security problem with the version that shipped with Slackware 7.0 (nfs-server-2.2beta46). By using a long pathname on a directory NFS mounted read-write, it may be possible for an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the server. It is recommended that everyone running an NFS server upgrade to this package immediately. ----- Fixed a bug in the netconfig.tty script that would cause it to crash about halfway through. ----- Recompile wu.ftpd using './configure'. This seems to fix ftpwho. --------------------------- - Wed Nov 24 15:40:41 CST 1999 Merged A and N series into single directories to make -current more managable. When we get close to another stable release (probably several months down the road), then A and N will be split out into floppy-sized chunks again (wherever possible). --------------------------- - Wed Nov 24 15:33:05 CST 1999 (* Branched new Slackware-current from Slackware 7 *) |
