May 31 - June 01 (3 posts): 3.5 Release date

On May 31, 2000, [Jordan K. Hubbard] announced to the -stable community a
possible date for the release of FreeBSD-3.5: June 20.

On the same day, [James Housley] reminded the -stable forum that CTM did
not still work as it should:
   
I have a PR that I think should be resolved before the release: http://
www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18058
   
Description:
   
src/usr.sbin/ctm/ctm/ctm_input.c limits files to 10Meg (10485760).
cvs-cur.6200xEmpty.gz has a file, src/sys/dev/isp/asm_pci.h,v that is
greather than 11Meg, actually 11913588 bytes.

[Vivek Khera], replying to Jordan's letter, remarked:
   
I was just investigating the NIS server on 3.4-STABLE, and noticed that
the docs claim that TCP wrappers are not compiled in by default since
they are not shipped with FreeBSD... However, that is no longer the
case.
   
Can we get this security updgrade included in the next release? All
that seems to be necessary is to define YP_WRAPPER in the Makefile and
link to the libwrap that is part of the system now.

May 30 - May 30 (1 posts): Announce: -stable commit lists

On May 30, 2000, [David Miller] made this proclamation:
   
I've setup freebsd-stable-3 and freebsd-stable-4 majordomo lists at
sparks.net. These use procmail to filter the RELENG_[3|4] messages out
of cvs-all, so one can easily tell which commits affect them.
   
Anyone could use procmail to filter the list himself, but I thought
this was more convenient, especially for those not set up with
procmail.

Digest versions are setup as well.

June 01 - June 01 (1 posts): HEADS UP: Data corruption bug in Vinum found
and fixed

On June 1, 2000, [Greg Lehey] promulgated the following important result:
   
I've just discovered (and fixed) a serious data corruption bug in
Vinum. Under certain circumstances, serious data corruption can result:
   
1. You are using RAID-4 or RAID-5 plexes.
2. One of these plexes (not the first plex in the system, whether a
RAID-[45] plex or not) develops parity problems.
3. You correct these errors with the 'rebuildparity' command.
   
Under these circumstances, the corrected blocks will probably be
written to the wrong subdisk. The original parity errors will remain.
   
The fix is in 4-STABLE and 5-CURRENT (revisions 1.22.2.1 and 1.29,
respectively). I don't think that 3-STABLE currently supports the
rebuildparity command, but I shall check and MFC if necessary.

June 01 - June 01 (2 posts): smbfs for FreeBSD 3.4

On June 1, 2000, [Boris Popov] broadcast some good news:
   
Native smbfs for FreeBSD now supports version 3.4 of this OS (it may
also run on 3.2 or 3.3, but definitely 'll crash on 3.1).
   
Please note, that FreeBSD 3.4 doesn't contain src/sys/crypto directory
which is required if you want to use encrypted passwords. You have to
pull this directory from either FreeBSD
