<p>MidnightBSD is a desktop operating system for x86 compatible (including Pentium® and Athlon™), and soon amd64 compatible (including Opteron™, Athlon™64, and EM64T) architectures. It was originally based on <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/">FreeBSD</a> 6.1 Beta. The goal of the project is to create a BSD with ease of use and simplicity in mind.</p> |

the latest tzdata2007c. Users concerned about DST changes should update their sources |

CURRENT now has a patch to correct a potential security issue with sendfile. Files were not checked prior to serving which would allow a file that was write only to be served. While this scenario is rare, we decided to fix it anyway. |
148 |
+ |
<br /> |
149 |

sendfile is used by many daemons including Apache httpd. |
