! 19:
! 20: <p>
! 21: This is a partial list of the major machine independent changes
! 22: (ie. these are the changes people ask about most often). Port
! 23: specific changes have also been made, and are sometimes mentioned
! 24: in the pages for the specific <a href=plat.html>ports</a> if you
! 25: are interested in further port-specific details. Many ports
! 26: have had architecture-specific enhancements relative to NetBSD,
! 27: but when they do not they certainly have plenty of platform-independent
! 28: changes, starting with those listed below..

! 54: <ul>
! 55: <li><font color=#e00000><strong>A security problem due to buffer mismanagement exists in lprm(1). <a href=errata22.html#rmjob>A patch exists</a></strong></font>.
! 56: <li><font color=#e00000><strong>A security problem due to a buffer overflow exists in uucpd(8) (which is not enabled by default in our releases). <a href=errata22.html#uucpd>A patch exists</a></strong></font>.

! 62: <li>Various other install script fixes.
! 63: <li>Fix /etc/fbtab handling in init(8).

! 71: <li>Repair the pkg_add(1) sufficiently for the 2.3 release...
! 72: <li>Fix a race condition in unmount(2).
! 73: <li>Add support for the XR16850 serial chip (128 byte fifos).
! 74: <li>mkisofs 1.11.2
! 75: <li>Disable console ddb by default. sysctl can re-enable it.
! 76: <li>Fix backtraces in gdb on m68k platforms.
! 77: <li>Support 3c905B (well, actually, our support falls over. We need a card to do further work).
! 78: <li>Modify i386 PS/2 driver to be read/write; this permits new XFree86 source to put mice into advanced modes of operation.
! 79: <li>Remove KTH Kerberos "eavesdropping" message from telnet(1) and telnetd(8).
! 80: <li>Fix bug oflow in ping(8) <strong>-R</strong> option.

! 93: <li>In login(1), handle cleanup of environment variables correctly.
! 94: <li>In ftp(1), for HTTP requests pass the hostname so that virtual hosts work.
! 95: <li>In utimes(2) and futimes(2), handle <strong>tv_sec</strong> values of -1 more carefully, as they are really illegal cases.
! 96: <li>Import <strong>kx</strong> into our X11 source tree.
! 97: <li>Add a <strong>SIOCGIFDATA</strong> ifreq-style ioctl which will get the ifdata informational structure attached to each interface.

! 102: <li>Emulate SunOS <strong>otimes(2)</strong> system call so that Netscape doesn't explode.
! 103: <li>Fix rarpd(8) interaction with routed(8); too much routing information would pile up un-read on the AF_ROUTE socket and rarpd(8) would get too grumpy.
! 104: <li>Remove libtelnet.so.* from the distribution. People compiling kerberos into their system were generating significantly different shared libraries; thus it is wrong to make this a shared library.
! 105: <li>Make edquota(8) handle numeric names as uid's only after checking that an account named so does not exist.
! 106: <li>Add UID_MAX and GID_MAX to <machine/limits.h> on each architecture.

! 112: <li>In mktemp(1), document why this should be used for temporary filename generation.
! 113: <li>In telnet(1), fix connecting to IP addresses; this was recently broken by the new KTH kerberos telnet integration.
! 114: <li>Make <strong>-R path</strong> work a well as <strong>-Rpath</strong> in cc(1).
! 115: <li>In the ksh(1) manpage, clarify the behaviour of the <strong>CDPATH</strong> variable.
! 116: <li>Add support for more PCI NE2000 cards.

! 119: <li>Make the functions described in ethers(3) more careful.
! 120: <li>Fix support for VFS loadable kernel modules.
! 121: <li>In get*ent() family of routines in libc, use fgetln(3) instead of fgets(3) so that parsing of overly long lines is more correct.
! 122: <li>Add options(4). This manpage describes what all the kernel options do. If you spot an error in it, notify us immediately.
! 123: <li>In strptime(3), make <strong>%C</strong> influence <strong>%y</strong> regardless of ordering.

! 126: <li>Merge Kirk McKusick's <a href=softupdate.html>soft update</a> code. This code is still experimental and under a non-commercial license. It will be included in the next release as an optional compile flag; we cannot ship it enabled by default.
! 127: <li>Flesh out the man pages and explain the security problems behind mktemp(3) and other similar functions, plus explain how to handle these problems better.
! 128: <li>Fully working KerberosIV encryption in telnet(1) and telnetd(8).
! 129: <li>Fixes to a few more games.
! 130: <li>CVS version 1.9.26
! 131: <li>Fix mktemp(3) problems in two more YP tools.
