hey everyone,
I installed 5.0-RELEASE shortly after it came out, no

Subject: Make installworld fails on 4.7 (unknown user smmsp)
Hello List,
I just attempted a make installworld on FreeBSD 4.7
Stable #5, from 11/17/2002. The src directory was just
re-installed (it became corrupted) from 4.7-Release
yesterday and cvsuped to date this morning. I've never
had a make installworld fail before, after doing this
every two weeks for two years.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

That kind of problem was covered in UPDATING for a couple of releases
ago. Sounds like you have a group and passwd file that is older than
4.7-release. The "mergemaster -p" option was added so you could run it
before the installworld.

Did you run mergemaster -p *before* you tried to install
world?

Subject: Adaptec 2000S + Tyan Thunder L-ET == BTX Loader failure ...
From what I can find on the 'Net, this is a known issue, but, I can't seem
to find a solution to it ... is there one?
I had originally installed on this same hardware, it just seems that it
started to give the BTX failure on reboot one day ... if I try and boot
from floppy, and 'load disk1s1a:/kernel' then do a 'boot', it appears to
cause the server itself to reboot, so either I'm doing that wrong, or my
problems are deeper then I suspect?
Thanks ...

after updating a server far away i had to recognize that

The man page says the default is NO but it is YES.

Quick Tip for anybody reading this later. This is an excellent example why
you should always use mergemaster(8) when upgrading :-)

You did not follow the documented upgrade procedure (which includes
running 'mergemaster -p' before installworld).
> The man page says the default is NO but it is YES.
Bzzzt. The man page clearly says it is on by default:
UsePrivilegeSeparation
Specifies whether sshd separates privileges by creating an
unprivileged child process to deal with incoming network traffic.
After successful authentication, another process will be created
that has the privilege of the authenticated user. The goal of
privilege separation is to prevent privilege escalation by con-
taining any corruption within the unprivileged processes. The
default is ``yes''.

Subject: Odd "hanging" behavior with -STABLE ...
At first I'd thought it might be hardware related, but if it is, its a
behaviour I haven't seen before ...
I have two machines .. one -STABLE as of Feb 1st, the other of Feb 6th ...
the one on Feb 6th itermediantly "hangs" ... but doesn't stay hung ...
For instance, I woke up this morning to checked on the one that has been
giving problems, and, once more, it was 'hung' ... checked ruptime on the
other server, and it reported that it was down 9hrs ... type 'uptime' on
an option console I have on the 'hung' server, and after a couple of
minutes, it comes back with the answer, and I can proceed to enter a few
more commands ... come back a bit later, and its 'hung' again, with pretty
much the same routine ...
I'm trying to CVSup back to the sources from the 1st, to see if that helps
correct the problem, but does anyone have any ideas on what might be
causing this? There is nothing in /var/log/messages to indicate a problem
...
Thanks ...

Or a hint with the offset, and an operator or program smart enough
to change the hint on DST changes.
