Manualove stranky, 4.6.1 a IPFW2

[Cejka Rudolf]

Par drobnosti - treba nekdo neco jeste nevi:

- Sleduju CVS a mam z aktualnosti manualovych stranek docela dobry dojem,
  protoze si myslim, ze v soucasne dobe (pred par lety to tak urcite
  nebylo), kdyz nekdo udela nejakou funkcni zmenu bez aktualizace man
  page, tak se nekdo ozve, kdy opravi man page nebo proc to neudelal
  rovnou.

- Dalo se to cekat, brzo bude 4.6.1:

------------------------------
  The release engineers, port managers, and security officer team are
currently working on a conservative set of changes to merge to the
RELENG_4_6 branch in preparation for a 4.6.1 release.  This point
release will include Soren's one-line ATA patch that fixes some of the
reported ATA problems, along with security-related updates for SSH,
BIND, ktrace, and possibly sendmail.  4.6.1 is currently scheduled for
July 17.  If you have any questions or comments about this point
release, please let us (re@) know.  Thanks!

- Sla tu diskuze o firewallovani, tak pro ty, kdo nesleduji ani
-stable (je takovy vubec nekdo?):

------------------------------

As the subject says, the latest patches to run ipfw2 on -stable are at

	http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ipfw2.stable.020709.diffs

They rely on the code that I have just committed to -stable.
Once you have patched your source tree, you need to add

	options	IPFW2

to your kernel config file to have the new functionality available,
otherwise you will still use the old ipfw code.

You also need to recompile /sbin/ipfw.

Note that this patch *does not* handle libalias.

(For the curious, ipfw2 is a nickname for the new firewall code
which is in -current.  It is much faster and more flexible than the
old one, and implements the old ipfw syntax as a subset, so your
existing configuration files should work unmodified -- and if they
don't, please report the rule(s) where it chokes so i can fix that).

	cheers
