Line 136

<li>Use 10 X characters in many remaining mktemp() calls which are hard to excise.

<li>getnetent() and friends now work a lot more like gethostent().

<li>More buffer overflows, but none in sensitive programs.

<li>Fixed some more mktemp races (sigh, will this ever end!)

<li>Add support for YP v1 to ypserv.

<li>Add md5 & blowfish passwd support to adduser(8).

<li>Numerous more pax/tar fixes.

Line 178

<li>Fix weak symbol support in ld.

<li>cvs 1.9.2

<li>IPSEC package from John Ioannidis and Angelos D. Keromytis.

<li>Working kadmind for kerberosIV.

<li>Add support for /etc/passwd.conf which controls the format and strength of passwd entries for the next time a user changes their password. These options can be set per-user.

<li>New scalable BLOWFISH-based crypt algorithm for passwd file entries. It uses a very large strong-random 'salt' and the number of rotor runs is configurable. Hence if you have faster machines you can slow the crypt routine down and make harder keys.

<li>fix some more memory and file descriptor leaks in libc/rpc

Line 188

<li>add RPC service name generation to netstat -a

<li>Make dd(1) work fine with our 64-bit off_t types, now you can copy very large disks using it.

<li>Improved NFS filehandle creation.

<li>Use lots more XXXX characters in calls to the few remaining mktemp() calls in the source tree. This cuts out a whole class of races.

<li>IPF 3.1.7 which includes fully working NAT support (ie. IP masquerading).

<li>The <a href="hp300.html">hp300</a> joins many other ports in supporting 16 disk partitions.

<li>Have libc/rpc save you from yourself if you do enable source routing.

<li>Change mktemp(3) and family to generate more random filenames, yet still as collision free as possible.

<li>Merge new ftp(1) changes from NetBSD.

<li>Add cdev and partition support to the ramdisk driver.

Line 257

<li>Numerous small security fixes again...

<li>com driver is now bus-independent.

<li>lpt driver is now bus-independent.

<li>The Arc port family has a new member: The rPC44 works!

<li>New bsd.*.mk feature: DEBUG=-g. Try it, you'll like it.

<li>pdksh version is now 5.2.11

<li>Make login get more consistently upset about failed logins, and tell user about these failures at the next successful login.
