This file contains post-release ERRATA for 2.2.7 and should always be considered the definitive place to look *first* before reporting a problem with this release. This file will also be periodically updated as new issues are reported so even if you've checked this file recently, check it again before filing a bug report. Any changes to this file are also automatically emailed to: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org For 2.2.7 security advisories, see: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/ For the latest information. ---- Security Advisories: Current active security advisories for 2.2.7: None ---- System Update Information: o XFree86: The XF86Setup utility sometimes fails with an XIO error (visible on the 2nd VTY) rather than starting properly if you run it during system installation time. This is not a new bug and has been seen in previous releases of FreeBSD, but it seems to happen far more reliably with 2.2.7 now (for some as yet unknown reason). Fix: Should this happen to you, run /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86Setup by hand after the system comes up off the hard disk for the first time. For some reason, when not run off the boot floppy or CD, it works perfectly (making this one somewhat more difficult to debug). o Release notes state that Texas Instruments ThunderLAN PCI NICs are supported in 2.2.7. Fix: This was an embarassing mis-merge from the 3.0 release notes and, indeed, those cards are only supported in 3.0-current. Please ignore this section of the release notes and any other docs which claim that the ThunderLAN NICs are supported in 2.2.7. o rshd was broken during -Wall cleanup, as noted in PR#7500 Fix: This was fixed in the 2.2-stable branch as of 1998/07/24 04:32:21 in revision 1.9.2.9 of /usr/src/libexec/rshd/rshd.c. Obtain the fixed version via CVSup (see instructions in handbook or simply ``pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz'' and follow the instructions) or get it from FTP at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-stable/src/libexec/rshd/rshd.c
