Utility Mods:
CORE_USR Mods:
Login would not properly cd to home directory if root didn't have
appropriate permissions, as is sometimes the case for NFS mounted
home directories.
The su command could cause a corruption of the shell name and not
perform the switch to the new user.
The perl POSIX strftime routine would return a random value for
the %Z field if the TZ environment variable was not set.
The kanal program did not properly identify the osrelease variable.
CORE_ROOT_BINARIES Mods:
Modify boot.define to handle SCSI devices that do not respond properly
to the SCSI enquiry command.
Kernel Mods:
Do not invalidate in-memory copy of disk block on a failed write. Keep
the memory valid and mark it dirty to try again later. This can prevent
panics on machines experiencing transient disk write problems.
Add a parameter to handle SCSI devices that do not respond correctly to
SCSI enquiry commands.
Properly handle IPFW filtering on output interfaces.
Some ncr standard controllers were claiming to be Ultra2 controllers. Add
an extra check to catch this.
