8.11.4/8.11.4 2001/05/28 Clean up signal handling routines to reduce the chances of heap corruption and other potential race conditions. Terminating and restarting the daemon may not be instantaneous due to this change. Also, non-root users can no longer send out-of-band signals. Problem reported by Michal Zalewski of BindView. If LogLevel is greater than 9 and SASL fails to negotiate an encryption layer, avoid core dump logging the encryption strength. Problem noted by Miroslav Zubcic of Crol. If a server offers "AUTH=" and "AUTH " and the list of mechanisms is different in those two lines, sendmail might not have recognized (and used) all of the offered mechanisms. Fix an IP address lookup problem on Solaris 2.0 - 2.3. Patch from Kenji Miyake. This time, really don't use the .. directory when expanding QueueDirectory wildcards. If a process is interrupted while closing a map, don't try to close the same map again while exiting. Allow local mailers (F=l) to contact remote hosts (e.g., via LMTP). Problem noted by Norbert Klasen of the University of Tuebingen. If Timeout.QueueReturn was set to a value less the time it took to write a new queue file (e.g., 0 seconds), the bounce message would be lost. Problem noted by Lorraine L Goff of Oklahoma State University. Pass map argument vector into map rewriting engine for the regex and prog map types. Problem noted by Stephen Gildea of InTouch Systems, Inc. When closing an LDAP map due to a temporary error, close all of the other LDAP maps which share the original map's connection to the LDAP server. Patch from Victor Duchovni of Morgan Stanley. To detect changes of NDBM aliases files check the timestamp of the .pag file instead of the .dir file. Problem noted by Neil Rickert of Northern Illinois University. Don't treat temporary hesiod lookup failures as permanent. Patch from Werner Wiethege. If ClientPortOptions is set, make sure to create the outgoing socket with the family set in that option. Patch from Sean Farley. Avoid a segmentation fault trying to dereference a NULL pointer when logging a MaxHopCount exceeded error with an empty recipient list. Problem noted by Chris Adams of HiWAAY Internet Services. Fix DSN for "Too many hops" bounces. Problem noticed by Ulrich Windl of the Universitaet Regensburg. Fix DSN for "mail loops back to me" bounces. Problem noticed by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish Meteorological Institute. Portability: OpenBSD has a broken setreuid() implementation. CONFIG: Undo change from 8.11.1: change 501 SMTP reply code back to 553 since it is allowed by DRUMS. CONFIG: Add OSTYPE(freebsd4) for FreeBSD 4.X. DEVTOOLS: install.sh did not properly handle paths in the source file name argument. Noted by Kari Hurtta of the Finnish Meteorological Institute. DEVTOOLS: Add FAST_PID_RECYCLE to compile time options for OpenBSD since it generates random process ids. PRALIASES: Add back adaptive algorithm to deal with different endings of entries in the database (with/without trailing '\0'). Patch from John Beck of Sun Microsystems.

$NetBSD: README,v 1.11 2000/07/23 18:02:33 fredb Exp $ Welcome to the NetBSD Packages Collection ========================================= In brief, the NetBSD Packages Collection is a set of software utilities and libraries which have been ported to NetBSD. The packages collection software can retrieve the software from its home site, assuming you are connected in some way to the Internet, verify its integrity, apply any patches, configure the software for NetBSD, and build it. Any prerequisite software will also be built and installed for you. Installation and de-installation of software is managed by the packaging utilities. The packages collection is made into a tar_file every week: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz and you can sup the pkgsrc tree using the `pkgsrc' name for the collection. The pkgsrc tree is laid out in various categories, and, within that, the various packages themselves. You need to have root privileges to install packages. We are looking at ways to remove this restriction. + To install a package on your system, you need to change into the directory of the package, and type "make install". + If you've made a mistake, and decided that you don't want that package on your system, then type "pkg_delete <pkg-name>", or "make deinstall" while in the directory for the package. + To find out all the packages that you have installed on your system, type "pkg_info". + To remove the work directory, type "make clean", and "make clean-depends" will clean up any working directories for other packages that are built in the process of making your package. + Optionally, you can periodically run "make clean" from the top level pkgsrc directory. This will delete extracted and built files, but will not affect the retreived source sets in pkgsrc/distfiles. + You can set variables to customise the behaviour (where packages are installed, various options for individual packages etc), by setting variables in /etc/mk.conf. The pkgsrc/mk/mk.conf.example file provides some examples for customisation. The best way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory (this will usually be /usr/pkgsrc), and type "make readme". This will create a file called README.html in the top-level pkgsrc directory, and also in all category and package directories. You can then see what packages are available, along with a short (one-line) comment about the function of the package, and a pointer to a fuller description, by using a browser like lynx (see pkgsrc/www/lynx) or Mozilla (pkgsrc/www/mozilla), or Communicator. This is also available online as ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/README.html. Another way to find out what packages are in the collection is to move to the top-level pkgsrc directory and type "make index". This will create pkgsrc/INDEX which can be viewed via "make print-index | more". You can also search for particular packages or keywords via "make search key=<somekeyword>". It is also possible to use the packaging software to install pre-compiled binary packages by typing "pkg_add <URL-of-binary-pkg>". To see what binary packages are available, see: ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/<release>/<arch>/All/ where <release> is the NetBSD release, and <arch> is the hardware architecture. One limitation of using binary packages provided from ftp.netbsd.org is that all mk.conf options were set to the defaults at compile time. LOCALBASE, in particular, defaults to /usr/pkg, so non-X binaries will be installed in /usr/pkg/bin, man pages will be installed in /usr/pkg/man... When a packaged tool has major compile time choices, such as support for multiple graphic toolkit libraries, the different options may be available as separate packages. For more information on the packages collection see the file Packages.txt where you found this README, or in your top-level pkgsrc directory.
