You will need to update your /dev 8a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh tree with a fresh copy of MAKEDEV for things to always work in 9a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh the future. fsck is unable to cope with dirty file systems 10a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh after this change, so it may work for you or it may not. 11a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 12a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before 13a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh starting the following: 14a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 15a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh For N in the list of disks 16a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV N # eg wd0 17a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh for M in the list of slices 18a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV NsMa # eg wd0s1a 19a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 20a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh *** All uses of block devices must be converted to char devices. 21a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh *** Likely the only thing impacted is dumpdev in /etc/rc.conf 22a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 23a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh19991204: 24a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh Support for the old 'sd' device names has been removed in 25a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh favor of 'da'. Please update your /etc/fstab, /etc/rc.conf 26a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh and any other places you might have sd names cached. 27a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh Generally these changes are as simple as s=/dev/sd=/dev/da=g, 28a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh but be careful to make sure that things are really that 29a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh simple. You may also need to create /dev entries for the da 30a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh devices as well. 31a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 32a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV should be copied from src/etc/MAKEDEV to /dev before 33a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh starting the following: 34a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh 35a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh For N in the list of da disks on your system 36a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV daN 37a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh for M in the list of slices 38a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh MAKEDEV daNsMa 39a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh19991203: 40a2e7fb9fSWarner Losh BAD144 support has been removed. Cope or replace the hardware. 41e306923fSPoul-Henning Kamp 427a92b31cSWarner Losh19991126: 437a92b31cSWarner Losh MFS_ROOT and MFS_ROOT_SIZE are gone, replaced by MD_ROOT and 447a92b31cSWarner Losh MD_ROOT_SIZE options in the md driver. md driver now deals with 457a92b31cSWarner Losh the hacks. You should add md driver to kerneles that have 467a92b31cSWarner Losh MFS_ROOT, et al. See GENERIC or LINT for details. 477a92b31cSWarner Losh 4863f52da7SWarner Losh19991125: 4963f52da7SWarner Losh The ep changed a while ago and can no longer be used with hard 5063f52da7SWarner Losh wired addresses in the config file. 5163f52da7SWarner Losh 521a50e0c7SWarner Losh19991113: 531a50e0c7SWarner Losh Gcc 2.95.2 is now the default compiler. 541a50e0c7SWarner Losh 5525c3f405SWarner Losh19991015: 5625c3f405SWarner Losh PCCARD has been updated to attach pcic to the isa bus. Therefore 5725c3f405SWarner Losh you will need to modify kernel config files that have pcic/card 5825c3f405SWarner Losh in them as follows: 5925c3f405SWarner Losh controller pcic0 at isa? 6025c3f405SWarner Losh controller pcic1 at isa? 6125c3f405SWarner Losh controller card0 6225c3f405SWarner Losh 6373c86a1fSWarner Losh19990929: 6473c86a1fSWarner Losh The sigset_t datatype has been changed from an integral type 6573c86a1fSWarner Losh to a compound type and can hold 128 signals. Syscalls directly 6673c86a1fSWarner Losh or indirectly using the new sigset_t have been added as to 6720d1019bSChris Costello maintain compatibility with existing binaries. A new kernel must 6873c86a1fSWarner Losh be made and installed and booted with before a make world can 6973c86a1fSWarner Losh be done. 7073c86a1fSWarner Losh 7160dbe536SWarner Losh19990919: 7260dbe536SWarner Losh New jail syscall format requires recompilation of jail(8) with 7360dbe536SWarner Losh fresh headers installed (or a make world will do it for you). 7460dbe536SWarner Losh 7560dbe536SWarner Losh19990914: 7660dbe536SWarner Losh Matt Dillon checked in many vm related things and sent a heads up 7760dbe536SWarner Losh to -current urging caution and to report vm problems to him. 7860dbe536SWarner Losh As of the 19th, no killer problems have been reported, but you 7960dbe536SWarner Losh have been warned. 8060dbe536SWarner Losh 815f83e348SWarner Losh19990908: 825f83e348SWarner Losh The new miibus has been added to the system. If you are using 835f83e348SWarner Losh the dm, rl, sf, sis, ste, tl, wb or xl drivers, you need to 845f83e348SWarner Losh add "controller miibus0" to your config file. 855f83e348SWarner Losh 86d9806965SNick Hibma19990905: 87d9806965SNick Hibma /var/cron/log has been moved to /var/log/cron to get all the 88d9806965SNick Hibma log files in one place. 895f83e348SWarner Losh 9030e90e8bSWarner Losh19990831: 9163f52da7SWarner Losh tn3270 has been removed from the base system and added as a port. 9230e90e8bSWarner Losh 93f8a59eaeSWarner Losh19990830: 94f8a59eaeSWarner Losh User-visible TCP timers are now expressed in units of 1ms, instead 95f8a59eaeSWarner Losh of 500ms, so if you've customized any timer values under 96f8a59eaeSWarner Losh ``net.inet.tcp'', multiply them by 500 to preserve TCP's behavior. 97f8a59eaeSWarner Losh 9830e90e8bSWarner Losh19990828: 9930e90e8bSWarner Losh RCS Id tags changed to FreeBSD. This will cause huge cvsup 10030e90e8bSWarner Losh updates. 10130e90e8bSWarner Losh 102f8a59eaeSWarner Losh19990821: 103f8a59eaeSWarner Losh On 28-May-1999 libreadline was upgraded from readline-2.2 to 104f8a59eaeSWarner Losh readline-4.0. At that time the shared library major version 105f8a59eaeSWarner Losh number was bumped from "3" to "4". It has been deemed that 106f8a59eaeSWarner Losh the interface change between readline-2.2 and readline-4.0 was 10778bcb44aSBill Fumerola not sufficient to warrant the version number bump. 108f8a59eaeSWarner Losh 109f8a59eaeSWarner Losh Thus I have reverted it back to "3". You will need to perform 110f8a59eaeSWarner Losh the below immediately before your next ``make world'': 111f8a59eaeSWarner Losh cd /usr/lib 112f8a59eaeSWarner Losh ls -l libreadline.so.4 113f8a59eaeSWarner Losh (if you have /usr/lib/libreadline.so.4) 114f8a59eaeSWarner Losh mv libreadline.so.4 libreadline.so.3 115f8a59eaeSWarner Losh rm -f libreadline.so 116f8a59eaeSWarner Losh ln -s libreadline.so.3 libreadline.so 117f8a59eaeSWarner Losh 1187eedd934SWarner Losh19990801: 1197eedd934SWarner Losh Changes to the pccardd kernel interface require that you recompile 1207eedd934SWarner Losh pccardd for new kernel. 1217eedd934SWarner Losh 122882984b3SWarner Losh19980725: 123882984b3SWarner Losh The ipfw interface to the kernel has changed. You will need to 124882984b3SWarner Losh recompile ipfw programs for the new kernel. 125882984b3SWarner Losh 126882984b3SWarner Losh19990715: 127882984b3SWarner Losh The bpfilter device has been renamed to bpf. You will need to 128882984b3SWarner Losh change your config files in order to enable this in newer kernels. 129882984b3SWarner Losh 130e5bd655aSWarner Losh19990704: 131e5bd655aSWarner Losh src/contrib/sys/softupdates is moving to 13295d18cfcSWarner Losh src/sys/contrib/softupdates. Update your symbolic links/etc. 133e5bd655aSWarner Losh 134e5bd655aSWarner Losh19990702: 135e5bd655aSWarner Losh Major changes have been made to vinum and its interface. See 136e5bd655aSWarner Losh the man page (vinum(8)) for details. Look at the concat, 137e5bd655aSWarner Losh mirror and stripe commands, as well as the SIMPLIFIED 138e5bd655aSWarner Losh CONFIGURATION section. 139e5bd655aSWarner Losh 140e5bd655aSWarner Losh19990628: 141e5bd655aSWarner Losh Newsyslog.conf has had a minor, but potentially dangerous, 142e5bd655aSWarner Losh change to its username/group syntax. The old syntax was 143e5bd655aSWarner Losh user.group, while the new syntax is user:group. 144e5bd655aSWarner Losh 145e5bd655aSWarner Losh19990627: 146e5bd655aSWarner Losh Inetd wrapping default has changed. Please see the updated 147e5bd655aSWarner Losh man page for details. 148e5bd655aSWarner Losh 149ed478e7cSWarner Losh19990623: 150ed478e7cSWarner Losh Compaq Smart Raid driver committed as ida. 151ed478e7cSWarner Losh 152075eeff2SWarner Losh19990622: 153075eeff2SWarner Losh The second phase of syscons cleanup has happened. Some 154075eeff2SWarner Losh functionality has been made optional. For details, see 155075eeff2SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update-June.txt 1566ae429caSWarner Losh Everyone will need to re-config(8) their kernels, but old 1576ae429caSWarner Losh binaries will work with the new kernel. 158075eeff2SWarner Losh 159a883e9d3SWarner Losh19990620: 160a883e9d3SWarner Losh IPFW uid/gid-based filtering support has been committed. This 161a883e9d3SWarner Losh breaks binary compatibility with previous copies of 162a883e9d3SWarner Losh ipfw(8). Any utilities using the ioctl()s of ipfw (especially 163a883e9d3SWarner Losh ipfw(8)) need to be recompiled with the newest headers 164a883e9d3SWarner Losh installed. 165a883e9d3SWarner Losh 166a883e9d3SWarner Losh19990618: 167a883e9d3SWarner Losh Inetd now wraps all stream-based services, including internals. 168a883e9d3SWarner Losh Syslog "severity" options are honoured. Installed syslog.conf 169a883e9d3SWarner Losh and hosts.allow should be checked. 170a883e9d3SWarner Losh 17107b72539SWarner Losh19990509: 17207b72539SWarner Losh Most of the problems with newbus have been corrected, but 17307b72539SWarner Losh it is still current and evolving. 17407b72539SWarner Losh 17507b72539SWarner Losh libcam's ABI has changed. You must recompile the world and 17607b72539SWarner Losh any ports that use it. 17707b72539SWarner Losh 17809fcf3f9SWarner Losh19990427: 17909fcf3f9SWarner Losh Massive changes to SMP went into the tree that should speed 18009fcf3f9SWarner Losh things up. However, if you experience problems with SMP 18109fcf3f9SWarner Losh machines, you can back off to the PRE_SMP_VMSHARE tag in the 18209fcf3f9SWarner Losh CVS repository (or run an MP kernel). 18309fcf3f9SWarner Losh 18409fcf3f9SWarner Losh19990420: 18509fcf3f9SWarner Losh Pccardd and the pccard bus in general seem to be broken or 18609fcf3f9SWarner Losh most people. Soren has patches to make it better for some, 18709fcf3f9SWarner Losh but not all people. Work is underway to make it better for 18809fcf3f9SWarner Losh all people. 18909fcf3f9SWarner Losh 190ea31d04dSWarner Losh19990416: 191ea31d04dSWarner Losh new bus changes integrated into -current. Many problems were 192ea31d04dSWarner Losh initially reported, but most have been fixed. You'll need a 193ea31d04dSWarner Losh new config and to tweak your kernel config file the way that 194ea31d04dSWarner Losh GENERIC was tweaked. Keep a copy of your old kernel when 195ea31d04dSWarner Losh upgrading in case your new kernel doesn't work (and report the 196ea31d04dSWarner Losh breakage to current@freebsd.org). 197ea31d04dSWarner Losh 198ea31d04dSWarner Losh As of 19990421 the remaining problems/quirks are 199ea31d04dSWarner Losh 200ea31d04dSWarner Losh o sio no longer supports pnp nor pccard. This will be corrected, 201ea31d04dSWarner Losh but the new pccard code needs to be completed. 202ea31d04dSWarner Losh o Some of the sound drivers broke for some people. It seems 203ea31d04dSWarner Losh inconsistant as to who/what/when/where things broke. 204ea31d04dSWarner Losh o Duplicate device entries in your config do not work. Previously 205ea31d04dSWarner Losh they were silently ignored. psm0 seems to be the most common 206ea31d04dSWarner Losh duplicate choice, although some reports have come in from people 207ea31d04dSWarner Losh that wired their scsi disk entries. 208ea31d04dSWarner Losh o You must move the keyboard and mouse attachments from the 209ea31d04dSWarner Losh isa bus to the atkbdc bus. See GENERIC for details. 210ea31d04dSWarner Losh o Machines with multiple host-pci bridges (Intel 450NX) will not 211ea31d04dSWarner Losh probe the second pci bus. 212ea31d04dSWarner Losh o Some probe ordering may have changed, so device naming may change 213ea31d04dSWarner Losh with the new kernel. If you have multiple devices, please double 214ea31d04dSWarner Losh check to make sure they didn't move. This is especially true 215ea31d04dSWarner Losh for cards on different buses. 216ea31d04dSWarner Losh o The bus attachment for vga0 is always isa0 and never pci0 when 217ea31d04dSWarner Losh it is in fact a pci card. It is safe to ignore this. 218ea31d04dSWarner Losh o The format of the boot messages has changed (and is not 219ea31d04dSWarner Losh guaranteed to be constant for a while) so you may see this 220ea31d04dSWarner Losh in some shell scripts that diff dmesg from day to day as well 221ea31d04dSWarner Losh as scripts that parse dmesg output. 222f8c77507SWarner Losh 223d24adca8SWarner Losh19990414: 224d24adca8SWarner Losh cc -aout sometimes has problems compiling with -g, remove -g 225d24adca8SWarner Losh from those compilation units affected until this is corrected. 226d24adca8SWarner Losh 227d24adca8SWarner Losh cc -aout has problems with producing some threaded libraries, 228d24adca8SWarner Losh so make world -DWANT_AOUT is not functional at this time. 229d24adca8SWarner Losh 230ea31d04dSWarner Losh Since make world for a.out isn't functional, you cannot do 231ea31d04dSWarner Losh make aout-to-elf from a pre-egcs a.out system. To work around 232ea31d04dSWarner Losh this problem, make aout-to-elf using 3.1-stable first (or a 233ea31d04dSWarner Losh pre egcs -current) and then a simple make world will take you 234ea31d04dSWarner Losh the rest of the way with a -current source base. 235ea31d04dSWarner Losh 236d5ca0636SWarner Losh19990413: 237d24adca8SWarner Losh Make -j works again for make world. As always, use it with 238d24adca8SWarner Losh care, and be sure to try a make world w/o -j before reporting 239d24adca8SWarner Losh problems (that is, know if the problem exists w/o -j before 240d24adca8SWarner Losh reporting the problem with -j). 241d24adca8SWarner Losh 242d24adca8SWarner Losh19990413: 243d24adca8SWarner Losh Note cc -aout, which had been broken since the conversion to 244ea31d04dSWarner Losh egcs, now supposedly works. If you have rebuilt things like 245d24adca8SWarner Losh XFree86 a.out libraries, you should rebuild them again or 246ea31d04dSWarner Losh progams that use them, including netscape, will fail to work. 247d5ca0636SWarner Losh 2481f692d40SWarner Losh19990409: 2491f692d40SWarner Losh NOTE: New c++ compiler cannot be used with c++ binaries from 2501f692d40SWarner Losh the old compiler and vice versa. 2511f692d40SWarner Losh 2521f692d40SWarner Losh19990408: 25381725689SWarner Losh In recent days egcs has been imported into the tree. A number 25481725689SWarner Losh of problems have been discussed in -current. Here is a highlight 25581725689SWarner Losh of a few of the more common ones. With the exception of make 25681725689SWarner Losh -j n, they have been claimed to have been fixed. 25781725689SWarner Losh 25881725689SWarner Losh c++ is broken after make world: This is correct. Because we 25981725689SWarner Losh changed compilers two make worlds are necessary to get C++ 26081725689SWarner Losh working again. The code generated by the old compiler and new 26181725689SWarner Losh compiler are not compatible, so things wind up being 26281725689SWarner Losh undefined. 26381725689SWarner Losh 26481725689SWarner Losh cpp is broken in make world: There was a window where cpp 26581725689SWarner Losh would be built incorrectly. The fix for this is 266420d4744SMasafumi Max NAKANE cd src/gnu/usr.bin/cc 26781725689SWarner Losh make clean 26881725689SWarner Losh make all 26981725689SWarner Losh make install 27081725689SWarner Losh and this should correct your problems. See the -current 27181725689SWarner Losh archives for a version of this that does moer cleaning. 27281725689SWarner Losh 27381725689SWarner Losh Make -j n doesn't work. Work contiunes to make this work, 27481725689SWarner Losh I've seen no reports of success as of April 7th. 27581725689SWarner Losh 276ff5e1f79SWarner Losh19990329: 277ff5e1f79SWarner Losh Previously, one would define "NOAOUT" to keep from building 278ff5e1f79SWarner Losh the legacy a.out bits. Now one would define "WANT_AOUT" to 279ff5e1f79SWarner Losh build them. 280ff5e1f79SWarner Losh 281fe9af953SWarner Losh19990316: 282fe9af953SWarner Losh The name of the old wd.c and atapi.c based CDROM driver has 283fe9af953SWarner Losh been changed back to wcd. So update your config file to use 284fe9af953SWarner Losh "device wcd" instead of "device acd". 285fe9af953SWarner Losh 286fe9af953SWarner Losh19990314: 287fe9af953SWarner Losh For those of you using the VN device as a loadable module, 288fe9af953SWarner Losh please be aware that the new VN device has been committed to 289fe9af953SWarner Losh -4.x and cannot yet be used as a loadable module. This will 290fe9af953SWarner Losh be fixed in the future. 291fe9af953SWarner Losh 292ce32355fSWarner Losh19990309: 293fe9af953SWarner Losh New loader.rc mechanism. Please see src/sys/boot/README for 294fe9af953SWarner Losh details. 295ce32355fSWarner Losh 296f8c77507SWarner Losh19990225: 297f8c77507SWarner Losh struct proc size changed. Recompile kernel and the 298f8c77507SWarner Losh usual suspects. Make world if in doubt. 2991fc1a0dcSWarner Losh 3000edeb9e7SWarner Losh19990214: 3010edeb9e7SWarner Losh The nlpt driver has changed names back to be the lpt driver. 3027dd38e55SWarner Losh See ppbus(4) or http://www.freebsd.org/~nsouch/ppbus.html 3037dd38e55SWarner Losh for proper configuration details. 3040edeb9e7SWarner Losh 3051fc1a0dcSWarner Losh19990210: 3061fc1a0dcSWarner Losh The 'lpt' driver is now obsolete. Replace it with the 'nlpt' 3070edeb9e7SWarner Losh driver and 'ppbus' controller combination. 30857199806SWarner Losh 3097dd38e55SWarner Losh19990209: 3107dd38e55SWarner Losh New devstat API requires recompilation of libdevstat, systat, 3117dd38e55SWarner Losh iostat, vmstat and rpc.rstatd. A new kernel is also required. 3127dd38e55SWarner Losh make world + building a kernel should do all of this. Any 3137dd38e55SWarner Losh ports that use devstat need to be recompiled as well. 3147dd38e55SWarner Losh 3159a3105eeSWarner Losh19990125: 3169a3105eeSWarner Losh Linux threads options has gone away (they are now standard in 3179a3105eeSWarner Losh the FreeBSD kernel). A recompile of all libkvm using programs 3189a3105eeSWarner Losh is in order (or better yet a make world). 3199a3105eeSWarner Losh 3209a3105eeSWarner Losh19990122: 3219a3105eeSWarner Losh On or about this date there was a small window when the boot 3229a3105eeSWarner Losh blocks had some minor problems which seemed to force one to 3239a3105eeSWarner Losh edit /etc/fstab. This has been corrected, if you are seeing this 3249a3105eeSWarner Losh problem, please rebuild and reinstall your boot blocks. 3259a3105eeSWarner Losh 3269a3105eeSWarner Losh19990121: 3278cd37f69SWarner Losh Vinum has changed. The "vinum read" command has changed.

These changes will likely not impact anybody, 3428cd37f69SWarner Losh but large chagnes to the VM need at least a heads up. 3438cd37f69SWarner Losh 3448cd37f69SWarner Losh19990120: 3458cd37f69SWarner Losh Stable branch created. You might want to consider using this 3468cd37f69SWarner Losh branch. It is tagged with RELENG_3. 3478cd37f69SWarner Losh 348ad56ea87SWarner Losh19990119: 349ad56ea87SWarner Losh More work on the syscons driver has been committed. Since 350ad56ea87SWarner Losh files moved around, you will need to reconfigure your kernel, 351ad56ea87SWarner Losh and make clean; make depend before rebuilding the kernel. No 352ad56ea87SWarner Losh config file changes are needed. 353ad56ea87SWarner Losh 35457199806SWarner Losh19990111: 355a85c0f55SWarner Losh New keyboard and video card drivers are introduced as the first 356a85c0f55SWarner Losh stage of console driver reorganization. You are required to 357a85c0f55SWarner Losh update the kernel configuration file and rebuild the kernel. 358a85c0f55SWarner Losh kbdcontrol, vidcontrol, and screen savers also need recompilation. 359a85c0f55SWarner Losh The instruction can be found in 36057199806SWarner Losh 3617dafbc29SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~yokota/sc_update.txt 36257199806SWarner Losh 363a85c0f55SWarner Losh It has notes on splash screen too. 36457199806SWarner Losh 36557199806SWarner Losh19990106: 3669857e582SWarner Losh Robert Nordier was kind enough to make this page to enable people to 367db23c94fSWarner Losh install the new bootblocks: 36857199806SWarner Losh 3697dafbc29SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~rnordier/boot.txt 37057199806SWarner Losh 3719ba54ae0SWarner Losh When updating to ELF, make sure that you have updated your 3729ba54ae0SWarner Losh /etc/rc files which have different ldconfig invocations for 3739ba54ae0SWarner Losh elf and aout. Otherwise things like X will stop working with 3749857e582SWarner Losh messages about being unable to find library files. The 3759857e582SWarner Losh mergemaster utility in ports/sysutils/mergemaster helps to 3769857e582SWarner Losh keep critical files like this in sync, and its use is 3779857e582SWarner Losh recommended. 37857199806SWarner Losh 37957199806SWarner Losh19990104: 3802c558794SWarner Losh Information about ELF day (see 19981230) can be found in 38157199806SWarner Losh 3827dafbc29SWarner Losh http://www.freebsd.org/~peter/elfday.html 38357199806SWarner Losh 3842c558794SWarner Losh about the upcoming change, its motivations and instructions 3852c558794SWarner Losh for doing the upgrade. 38657199806SWarner Losh 38757199806SWarner Losh19981230: 388d5513f53SWarner Losh You should install new bootblocks now. The ELF kernel will 389e363c17bSWarner Losh become default soon. In addition, you'll need to upgrade 390e363c17bSWarner Losh your userland programs to ELF before then as well. Use 391e363c17bSWarner Losh make aout-to-elf to upgrade your userland programs (old 392e363c17bSWarner Losh a.out programs in, for example, /usr/local/bin will 393e363c17bSWarner Losh continue to work, even after the upgrade). See src/Makefile 394e363c17bSWarner Losh for more details. 39557199806SWarner Losh 39657199806SWarner Losh19981224: 397355edc3eSWarner Losh The old wcd driver has been deleted from the kernel. The 398355edc3eSWarner Losh driver that replaces it is named acd. You'll need to change 399355edc3eSWarner Losh this in your configuration files. 40057199806SWarner Losh 401355edc3eSWarner Losh Failure to do this will result in "ATAPI CD-ROMs not 402355edc3eSWarner Losh configured" at boot time. 40357199806SWarner Losh 404355edc3eSWarner Losh The floppy tape driver (ft) has been removed from the kernel, 405355edc3eSWarner Losh with no replacement driver. 40657199806SWarner Losh 40757199806SWarner Losh19981202: 408ab308df6SWarner Losh New groups from 19981201 commented out of mtree, so they 409ab308df6SWarner Losh aren't strictly needed, but still a good idea to have. 41057199806SWarner Losh 41157199806SWarner Losh19981201: 412ab308df6SWarner Losh New user/group added: bind.
