Hubbard" Yes, it's only been 4 days since the last SNAP, but that last SNAP had a few major problems with it which made it unsuitable for general use. This SNAP should fix all the major show-stopper bugs and a number of more minor ones. As always, please use send-pr(1) or http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html to submit bug reports or comments on this SNAP. Jordan --- What's New, from the release notes: 0. What's new since 2.2-961006-SNAP? ------------------------------------ 11th-hour bug in SYN attack protection code fixed [showstopper]. Support for Cyclades Cyclom-Y (multi-port async serial) PCI adaptors as well as multiple controllers and the 32-Y (if you are currently using the Cyclades serial adapter, you should re-make your /dev entries and remove the old ones). /usr/src/contrib now part of src dist selection (doh!) [showstopper]. You need only change your kernel settings *once* now, on initial startup from the floppy. They will be preserved on the subsequently installed kernel. 0. What's new since 2.2-960801-SNAP? ------------------------------------ Support for HP PC Lan+ cards (model numbers: 27247B and 27252A) Update to gcc 2.7.2.1 & add support for weak symbols. Many things moved/brought into /usr/src/contrib, updating and cleaning up the source tree accordingly. Support for compiled-in shared library ld paths. Update sgmlfmt to `instant'. Protection against the widely reported SYN attack. ------- =_aaaaaaaaaa-- From owner-freebsd-announce Sat Oct 19 19:26:49 1996 Return-Path: owner-freebsd-announce Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA27723 for freebsd-announce-outgoing; Sat, 19 Oct 1996 19:26:49 -0700 (PDT) Received: (from jmb@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.7.5/8.7.3) id TAA27716 for freebsd-announce; Sat, 19 Oct 1996 19:26:47 -0700 (PDT) From: "Jonathan M.
