Nouveautés depuis la version 3.2-RELEASE +------------------------------------------- + +1.1. NOYAU +---------- +Le filtrage de paquet Berkeley (bpf) est autorisé par défaut. Cela a été fait +pour permettre les installations par DHCP. + +L'émulation Linux a subi des corrections de bugs et des améliorations importantes. + +Le code de démarrage pour les processeurs i386 a été amélioré pour quelques systèmes +posant problèmes. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les cartes réseaux sans fil IEEE 802.11 PCMCIA basées +sur la puce Lucent Hermes, y compris les cartes Lucent +WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11 et Cabletron RoamAbout. Les cartes Turbo 2 Mbps et +6 Mbps sont supportées. [INTEGRE] + +Ajout d'un driver pour les cartes PCI Fast Ethernet basées sur +la puce ADMtek Inc. AL981 Comet. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les cartes PCI Fast Ethernet basées sur +la puce LC82C115 'PNIC II'. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les cartes PCI Gigabit Ethernet +SysKonnect SK-984x. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les cartes PCI Ethernet Adaptec Duralink basées +sur le contrôleur Adaptec AIC-6915 Fast Ethernet. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les produits intégrés M-systems DiskOnChip. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les 3Com 3c905C-TX. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les 3Com 3x574-TX 16-bit FastEtherlink +PC-card. + +Ajout d'un driver pour les contrôleurs RAID de la famille +Compaq Smart Raid. + +Ajout d'un driver pour plusieurs cartes sons Realtek et +Avance Asound. + +Amélioration du support USB. + +Des mises à jour majeures du gestionnaire de volume Vinum ont été incorporées. +[ Cependant les nouvelles fonctionnalités RAID-5 doivent être encore considérées +comme expérimentales puisqu'elles sont... nouvelles ]. + +De nombreux problèmes liés à NFS ont été corrigés. + +Le support APM a été amélioré. Un problème provoquant une panique du noyau avec +d'anciens BIOS APM a été corrigé. La transition suspens/veille +est également plus robuste. + +Pour IPFW, ajout de règles de firewall basées sur le groupe et l'utilisateur. + +Pour IPFW, ajout de règles basées sur des probabilités. + +Les logs IPFW sont maintenant dynamiques. Les compteurs de log IPFW peuvent être remis +à zéro et chacune des règles peut avoir une limite arbitraire de log. + +1.2. SECURITE +------------- +Un problème lié aux drapeaux des systèmes de fichier a été corrigé. + +Un problème avec profil(2) restant inactif après un appel à exec a été corrigé. + +Un trou de sécurité dans amd (le démon de montage de périphérique automatique) exploitable +à distance et pouvant donner les droits root a été corrigé. + +Le port wu-ftpd a été mis à jour avec les dernières corrections pour prévenir +les éventuels trous de sécurité exploitable à distance et pouvant donner les droits root. + +Le port proftpd a été mis à jour avec les dernières corrections pour prévenir +les éventuels trous de sécurité exploitable à distance et pouvant donner les droits root. + +Le port samba a été mis à jour avec les dernières corrections pour prévenir +les éventuels trous de sécurité exploitable à distance et pouvant donner les droits root. + +Le port inn a été mis à jour avec une nouvelle version qui corrige plusieurs problèmes +de débordement de tampon mémoire. + +Depuis la version 3.0 de FreeBSD, de nombreux problèmes mineurs liés à la pile réseau +qui auraient pu être utilisés pour des attaques de type "déni de service" +ont été corrigés. + + +1.3. PROGRAMMES UTILISATEUR +--------------------------- +L'environnement de support pour l'émulation Linux a finalement été mis à jour. Les +ports linux_lib et linux_devel ont été remplacés respectivement par les ports linux_base et +linux_devtools. Ces nouveaux ports sont basés sur la Red Hat 5.2 et +incluent le support à la fois pour les applications basées sur la glibc2 et sur la libc5. + +Sysinstall contient désormais un client DHCP. + +Le support de TCP Wrapper dans inetd(8) est maintenant contrôlé avec des options de lignes +de commandes et les services UDP peuvent maintenant être pris en charge. Veuillez +consulter la page de manuel pour plus de détails, car inetd exécuté +sans options ne profitera pas des fonctionnalités de TCP Wrapper. + +Le client DHCP de ISC a été mis à jour avec la version 2.0. + +Bison, le générateur GNU d'analyseur grammaticale, a été mis à jour avec la version 1.28. + +Le démon de gestion d'énergie, apmd(8), a été inclus. +Cela permet à l'utilisateur de sélectionner les évènements APM devant être pris en charge +depuis l'espace utilisateur et de spécifier les commandes pour un évènement donné. Cela permet +également de configurer l'APM d'une manière très flexible. Veuillez consulter la +page de manuel pour plus de détails. + + +2. Supported Configurations +--------------------------- +FreeBSD currently runs on a wide variety of ISA, VLB, EISA and PCI bus +based PC's, ranging from 386sx to Pentium class machines (though the +386sx is not recommended). Support for generic IDE or ESDI drive +configurations, various SCSI controller, network and serial cards is +also provided. + +What follows is a list of all peripherals currently known to work with +FreeBSD. Other configurations may also work, we have simply not as yet +received confirmation of this. + + +2.1.

Obtaining FreeBSD +-------------------- + +You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways: + +3.1. FTP/Mail +------------- + +You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from +`ftp.FreeBSD.org' - the official FreeBSD release site. + +For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file +MIRROR.SITES. Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in +networking terms) to you. Additional mirror sites are always welcome! +Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to +become an official mirror site. + +If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your +only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to +`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message +to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism. +Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of +megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute +LAST resort! + + +3.2. CDROM +---------- + +FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from: + + Walnut Creek CDROM + 4041 Pike Lane, Suite F + Concord CA 94520 + 1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX) + +Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com. +Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from: + + ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog + +Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription. +FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a +FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely +separate). With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as +they are released. Your credit card will be billed when each disk is +shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further +obligation. + +Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico +and $9.00 overseas. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American +Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United +States. California residents please add 8.25% sales tax. + +Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an +unconditional return policy. + + +4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD +---------------------------------------------- + +If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely +it's 2.2.x or 2.1.x (in some lesser number of cases) and some of the +following issues may affect you, depending of course on your chosen +method of upgrading. There are two popular ways of upgrading +FreeBSD distributions: + + o Using sources, via /usr/src + o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option. + +In the case of using sources, there are simply two targets you need to +be aware of: The standard ``upgrade'' target, which will upgrade a 2.x +or 3.0 system to 3.3 and the ``world'' target, which will take an +already upgraded system and keep it in sync with whatever changes have +happened since the initial upgrade. + +In the case of using the binary upgrade option, the system will go +straight to 3.3/ELF but also populate the /<basepath>/lib/aout +directories for backwards compatibility with older binaries. + +In either case, going to ELF will mean that you'll have somewhat +smaller binaries and access to a lot more compiler goodies which have +been already been ported to other ELF environments (our older and +somewhat crufty a.out format being largely unsupported by most other +software projects). Those who wish to retain access to the older +a.out dynamic executables should be sure and install the compat22 +distribution. Notice that the a.out libraries won't be accessible +until the system is rebooted, which may cause trouble with certain +a.out packages. + +Also, do not use install disks or sysinstall from previous versions, +as version 3.1 introduced a new bootstrapping procedure, requiring +new boot blocks to be installed (because of elf kernels), and version +3.2 has further modifications to the bootstrapping procedure. + +[ other important upgrading notes should go here] + + +5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code. +----------------------------------------------------------- +Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always +valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find +(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!). + +The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with +Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI +script at http://www.FreeBSD.org/send-pr.html. Bug reports +will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can +be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon +as possible. Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site +in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports +and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to +watch out for. + +If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to +submit a bug report, you can try to send it to: + + freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org + +Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move +even onto a totally different system. We much prefer if you could use +this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem +reports. However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether +the problem might have already been fixed since. + + +Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to: + + freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org + + +Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have +extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired +enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves! To +contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send +mail to: + + freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org + + +Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant* +amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and +are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you +may find it preferable to subscribe instead to: + + freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org + + +All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing +to do so. Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword +`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message. This +will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing +archives, etc. There are a number of mailing lists targeted at +special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo +and ask about them! + + +6.
