>Release:        FreeBSD 4.1 Release
>Organization:
First Data Corp.
>Environment:
I'm not at the machine at the moment.  Best memory is
eponym.abdn1.md.home.com at 10.2.2.10
which is on Comcasts cable modem through a LRP firewall with a NATed
address.
>Description:
Yahoo has obsoleted the protocol used by everybuddy instant messenger
distributed with FreeBSD 4.1.  If a Yahoo handle/password is entered
then everybuddy becomes unuseable because attempts to connect to Yahoo 
repetitively display a message from Yahoo saying that the messenger
client is obsolete and that the new one should be downloaded.  There 
doesn't seem to be enough information, especially from NEC, to install
Yahoo's FreeBSD messenger client.
>How-To-Repeat:
Start everybuddy.  Enter a new Yahoo account (handle) and password and
attempt to connect to Yahoo.
>Fix:
If the Yahoo handle is disabled then everybuddy is usuable elsewhere.
Otherwise I know of no fix.
