I am not sure which mailing list to send such trivial questions to so I apologize in advance for posting incorrectly. However, I have two questions which are puzzling me and I could not find any information on them. I just used cvsup to update my sources and did the whole make buildworld thing and noticed the following. When I telnet to my box from a 4.3-RC2 I get no "FreeBSD/i386 (hostname) (tty)" type banner string. Yet, If I telnet in from a non-freebsd box, I get the banner string. What is telnet now doing differently between freebsd boxes? Second, if 4.3-RC2 was released and I just cvsup to RELENG_4 (4.x-STABLE) and my uname -r responds with 4.3-RC. What is the strategy behind that?
