117
118 20160923:
119 Security update for OpenSSL
120
121 A malicious client can send an excessively large OCSP Status Request extension.
122 If that client continually requests renegotiation, sending a large OCSP Status
123 Request extension each time, then there will be unbounded memory growth on the
124 server. [CVE-2016-6304]
125
126 An overflow can occur in MDC2_Update() either if called directly or through
127 the EVP_DigestUpdate() function using MDC2. If an attacker is able to supply
128 very large amounts of input data after a previous call to EVP_EncryptUpdate()
129 with a partial block then a length check can overflow resulting in a heap
130 corruption. [CVE-2016-6303]
131
132 If a server uses SHA512 for TLS session ticket HMAC it is vulnerable to a
133 DoS attack where a malformed ticket will result in an OOB read which will
134 ultimately crash. [CVE-2016-6302]
135
136 The function BN_bn2dec() does not check the return value of BN_div_word().
137 This can cause an OOB write if an application uses this function with an
138 overly large BIGNUM. This could be a problem if an overly large certificate
139 or CRL is printed out from an untrusted source. TLS is not affected because
140 record limits will reject an oversized certificate before it is parsed.
141 [CVE-2016-2182]
142
143 The function TS_OBJ_print_bio() misuses OBJ_obj2txt(): the return value is
144 the total length the OID text representation would use and not the amount
145 of data written. This will result in OOB reads when large OIDs are presented.
146 [CVE-2016-2180]
147
148 Some calculations of limits in OpenSSL have used undefined pointer arithmetic.
149 This could cause problems with some malloc implementations. [CVE-2016-2177]
150
151 Operations in the DSA signing algorithm should run in constant time in order to
152 avoid side channel attacks. A flaw in the OpenSSL DSA implementation means that
153 a non-constant time codepath is followed for certain operations. [CVE-2016-2178]
154
155 In a DTLS connection where handshake messages are delivered out-of-order those
156 messages that OpenSSL is not yet ready to process will be buffered for later
157 use. Under certain circumstances, a flaw in the logic means that those messages
158 do not get removed from the buffer even though the handshake has been completed.
159 An attacker could force up to approx. 15 messages to remain in the buffer when
160 they are no longer required. These messages will be cleared when the DTLS
161 connection is closed. The default maximum size for a message is 100k. Therefore
162 the attacker could force an additional 1500k to be consumed per connection.
163 [CVE-2016-2179]
164
165 A flaw in the DTLS replay attack protection mechanism means that records that
166 arrive for future epochs update the replay protection "window" before the MAC
167 for the record has been validated. This could be exploited by an attacker by
168 sending a record for the next epoch (which does not have to decrypt or have a
169 valid MAC), with a very large sequence number. This means that all subsequent
170 legitimate packets are dropped causing a denial of service for a specific
171 DTLS connection. [CVE-2016-2181]
172
173 In OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier some missing message length checks can result in
174 OOB reads of up to 2 bytes beyond an allocated buffer. There is a theoretical
175 DoS risk but this has not been observed in practice on common platforms.
176 [CVE-2016-6306]
177
178 20160918:
179 With the addition of auditdistd(8), a new auditdistd user is now
180 depended on during installworld. "mergemaster -p" can be used to add
181 the user prior to installworld.
182
183 The VFS KBI was changed with the merge of several nullfs
184 optimizations and fixes. All filesystem modules must be
185 recompiled.
186
187 20160916:
188 The random(4) support for the VIA hardware random number
189 generator (`PADLOCK') is no longer enabled unconditionally.
190 Add the PADLOCK_RNG option in the custom kernel config if
191 needed. The GENERIC kernels on i386 and amd64 do include the
192 option, so the change only affects the custom kernel
193 configurations.
194
195 A new version of ZFS (pool version 5000) has been merged.
196 Starting with this version the old system of ZFS pool versioning
197 is superseded by "feature flags". This concept enables forward
198 compatibility against certain future changes in functionality of ZFS
199 pools. The first two read-only compatible "feature flags" for ZFS
200 pools are "com.delphix:async_destroy" and "com.delphix:empty_bpobj".
201 For more information read the new zpool-features(7) manual page.
202 Please refer to the "ZFS notes" section of this file for information
203 on upgrading boot ZFS pools.
204
205 20160906:
206 Add support for the MosChip MCS9904 four serial ports
207 controller.
208
209 Add support for walltimestamp in DTrace.
210
211 Various gdb improvments.
212
213 ZFS
214 Import the zio nop-write improvement from Illumos. To reduce I/O,
215 nop-write omits overwriting data if the checksum (cryptographically
216 secure) of new data matches the checksum of existing data.
217 It also saves space if snapshots are in use.
218
219 It currently works only on datasets with enabled compression, disabled
220 deduplication and sha256 checksums.
221
222 Add loader(8) tunable to enable/disable nopwrite functionality:
223 vfs.zfs.nopwrite_enabled
224
225 Introduce a new dataset aclmode setting "restricted" to protect ACL's
226 being destroyed or corrupted by a drive-by chmod.
227
228 New loader-only tunables:
229 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_deferred_free
230 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_dont_compress
231 vfs.zfs.sync_pass_rewrite
232
233 chkgrp(8) add support for q flag
234
235 Fix problem with the Samsung 840 PRO series SSD detection.
236 The device reports support for SATA Asynchronous Notification in its
237 IDENTIFY data, but returns error on attempt to enable that feature.
238 Make SATA XPT of CAM only report these errors, but not fail the device.
239
240 20160905:
241 Add a resource limit for the total number of kqueues
242 available to the user. Kqueue now saves the ucred of the
243 allocating thread, to correctly decrement the counter on close.
244 Based on FreeBSD SVN 256849
245
246 Import netcat from OpenBSD 5.2
247
248 20160904:
249 Introduced experimental TCP sysctls starting with
250 net.inet.tcp.experimental.initcwnd10
251
252 20160814:
253 switched default desktop port to midnightbsd-desktop. This gives us flexibility to change it
254 in the release after the fact.
255
256 tzdata 2016a
257
258 20160811:
259 libdispatch 210
260
261 Added quirks for several models of SSDs to enable advanced format/4k mode. List includes
262 Samsung 830, 840, 850 and 750 series, Intel x25 and a few Toshiba models. Also
263 added WD Red drives.
264
265 Updated list of pci device vendors.

278
279 20160531:
280 Fix four security issues with MidnightBSD.
281
282 The implementation of TIOCGSERIAL ioctl(2) does not clear the output
283 struct before sending to userland in the linux emulation layer.
284
285 The compat 43 stat(2) system call exposes kernel stack to userland.
286
287 libarchive - CVE-2015-2304 and CVE-2013-0211 fix issues with
288 cpio directory traversal and an integer signedness error in the archive
289 write zip data routine.
290
291

297
298 Fix libpmc(3) build with clang compiler.
299
300 20160519:
301 Kernel Security updates
302
303 atkbd(4) - Incorrect signedness comparison in the ioctl(2) handler allows a malicious
304 local user to overwrite a portion of the kernel memory.
305
306 Incorrect argument handling in sendmsg(2)
307
308 Incorrect argument handling in the socket code allows malicious local
309 user to overwrite large portion of the kernel memory.
310
311 20160505:
312 OpenSSL security patch
313
314 The padding check in AES-NI CBC MAC was rewritten to be in constant time
315 by making sure that always the same bytes are read and compared against
316 either the MAC or padding bytes. But it no longer checked that there was
317 enough data to have both the MAC and padding bytes. [CVE-2016-2107]
318
319 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncodeUpdate() function which is used for
320 Base64 encoding of binary data. [CVE-2016-2105]
321
322 An overflow can occur in the EVP_EncryptUpdate() function, however it is
323 believed that there can be no overflows in internal code due to this problem.
324 [CVE-2016-2106]
325
326 When ASN.1 data is read from a BIO using functions such as d2i_CMS_bio()
327 a short invalid encoding can casuse allocation of large amounts of memory
328 potentially consuming excessive resources or exhausting memory.
329 [CVE-2016-2109]
330
331 20160412:
332 0.8 stable branch created. Continue development as 0.9.
333
334 Fix several issues with wait6 system call addition.
335
336 20160409:
337 libmport now supports two new plist formats:
338 @(root,wheel,4775) myfile
339 @dir(root,wheel,775) mydir
340
341 On delete, absoluate paths are now handled properly.
342
343 20160317:
344 OpenSSH doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
345
346 Fix a security issue with OpenSSH X11 forwarding that can allow an attacker
347 run shell commands on the call to xauth.
348
349 Incorrect argument validation in sysarch(2)
350
351 A special combination of sysarch(2) arguments, specify a request to
352 uninstall a set of descriptors from the LDT. The start descriptor
353 is cleared and the number of descriptors are provided. Due to invalid
354 use of a signed intermediate value in the bounds checking during argument
355 validity verification, unbound zero'ing of the process LDT and adjacent
356 memory can be initiated from usermode.
357
358 Patch obtained from FreeBSD.
359
360 20160229:
361 top now displays information on ZFS arc cache.
362
363 20160228:
364 llvm + clang 3.3 is now the default compiler in MidnightBSD.
365
366 20160222:
367 Introduce pipe2 to linux emulation layer.
368
369 20160114:
370 OpenSSL
371
372 The signature verification routines will crash with a NULL pointer dereference
373 if presented with an ASN.1 signature using the RSA PSS algorithm and absent
374 mask generation function parameter. [CVE-2015-3194]
375
376 When presented with a malformed X509_ATTRIBUTE structure, OpenSSL will leak
377 memory. [CVE-2015-3195]
378
379 If PSK identity hints are received by a multi-threaded client then the values
380 are incorrectly updated in the parent SSL_CTX structure. [CVE-2015-3196]
381
382 Fix security on bsnmpd configuration file during installation.
383
384 TCP MD5 signature denial of service
385
386 A programming error in processing a TCP connection with both TCP_MD5SIG
387 and TCP_NOOPT socket options may lead to kernel crash.
388
389 SCTP
390
391 A lack of proper input checks in the ICMPv6 processing in the SCTP stack
392 can lead to either a failed kernel assertion or to a NULL pointer
393 dereference. In either case, a kernel panic will follow.
394
395 20160102:
396 Happy New Year
397
398 20151101:
399 Increase kern.ipc.somaxconn default to 256.
400
401 20151017:
402 Add initial statistics api to libmport and a driver to print
403 it in mport(1).
404
405 20151002:
406 Revised rpcbind(8) patch to fix issues with NIS
407
408 20150930:
409 In rpcbind(8), netbuf structures are copied directly, which would result in
410 two netbuf structures that reference to one shared address buffer. When one
411 of the two netbuf structures is freed, access to the other netbuf structure
412 would result in an undefined result that may crash the rpcbind(8) daemon.
413
414 20150926:
415 libmport now supports @preexec, @postexec, @preunexec and @postunexec
416 to replace @exec and @unexec.
417
418 pre exec runs afer pre-install scripts but before actual installation
419
420 post exec runs after install but before post install scripts and
421 pkg message.
422
423 pre unexec runs before pre uninstall scripts
424
425 post unexec runs before de-install scripts and after file removal.
426
427 20150917:
428 Fix kqueue write events for files > 2GB
429
430 20150825:
431 kernel:
432 fix a security issue on amd64 where the GS segment CPU register can be changed via
433 userland value in kernel mode by using an IRET with #SS or #NP exceptions.
434
435 openssh:
436 A programming error in the privileged monitor process of the sshd(8)
437 service may allow the username of an already-authenticated user to be
438 overwritten by the unprivileged child process.
439
440 A use-after-free error in the privileged monitor process of he sshd(8)
441 service may be deterministically triggered by the actions of a
442 compromised unprivileged child process.
443
444 A use-after-free error in the session multiplexing code in the sshd(8)
445 service may result in unintended termination of the connection.
446
447 20150818:
448 expat security fix
449
450 20150815:
451 libc changes:
452 setmode(3) now returns errno consistently on error.
453 libc will compile without error using clang
454
455 20150814:
456 wait6 system call added.
457
458 date(1) now handles non numeric numbers passed to -r
459 like GNU coreutils for improved compatibility.
460
461 20150811:
462 ata(4) AMD Hudson2 SATA controller support.
463 Intel lynxpoint SATA.
464
465 Fix some const warnings when building several device drivers
466 with llvm/clang.
467
468 Sync cas(4) with FreeBSD 9-stable.
469
470 Fix some minor issues with ath(4).
471
472 20150809:
473 xz 5.0.8
474
475 20150808:
476 libmport now logs installation and removal of packages to syslog.
477
478 20150805:
479 routed - fix a potential security issue where traffic from outside
480 the network can disrupt routing.
481
482 bsd patch - fix a bug with ed(1) scripts allowing unsanitized input
483 to run.
484
485 20150802:
486 jansson 2.7 library added. (libjansson is a JSON library in C)
487
488 20150728:
489 Heimdal 1.5.2 (kerberos implementation)
490
491 OpenSSL 1.0.1o
492
493 cpucontrol(8) now supports VIA CPUs. Synced with FreeBSD 9.2.
494
495 TCP Resassemly resource exhaustion bug:
496 There is a mistake with the introduction of VNET, which converted the
497 global limit on the number of segments that could belong to reassembly
498 queues into a per-VNET limit. Because mbufs are allocated from a
499 global pool, in the presence of a sufficient number of VNETs, the
500 total number of mbufs attached to reassembly queues can grow to the
501 total number of mbufs in the system, at which point all network
502 traffic would cease.
503 Obtained from: FreeBSD 8
504
505 OpenSSH
506
507 Fix two security vulnerabilities:
508 OpenSSH clients does not correctly verify DNS SSHFP records when a server
509 offers a certificate. [CVE-2014-2653]
510
511 OpenSSH servers which are configured to allow password authentication
512 using PAM (default) would allow many password attempts. A bug allows
513 MaxAuthTries to be bypassed. [CVE-2015-5600]
514
515
516 Switch to bsdpatch (from FreeBSD & OpenBSD)
517
518 20150726:
519 BSD Sort updated
520
521 sqlite 3.8.10.2
522
523 20150725:
524 Import reallocarray from OpenBSD's libc.
525
526 The reallocarray() function is similar to realloc() except it operates on
527 nmemb members of size size and checks for integer overflow in the
528 calculation nmemb * size.
529
530 20150722:
531 Fix a bug where TCP connections transitioning to LAST_ACK
532 state can get stuck. This can result in a denial of service.
533
534 20150715:
535 libmport now supports @shell and @sample in plists. This means that
536 a shell port can automatically add an entry to /etc/shells and remove
537 it upon uninstallation. For sample files, a copy is made without the
538 .sample extension if one does not exist and it is removed automatically
539 only if the md5 hash of the two files is the same.
540
541 20150709:
542 flex 2.5.39
543
544 20150702:
545 ZFS in MidnightBSD now supports lz4 compression. You can enable it
546 with zfs set compression=lz4 pool/path.
547
548 Verify it's working with
549 zfs get compressratio pool/path
550 du -h -s *
551
552 Note you must write new data when turning on compression to see
553 changes. Existing files are not compressed.
554
555 Note: While we used the same basic implementation of lz4 that
556 FreeBSD and OpenZFS uses, we did not yet implement features support
557 and the zfs version still reports 28. This may come in a future update
558 to ZFS.
559
560 20150621:
561 libmport now automatically stops services when deleting packages.
562
563 The package must have installed an rc.d script in /usr/local/etc

567 Sendmail
568
569 With the recent changes to OpenSSL to block 512 bit certificates,
570 sendmail can't connect with TLS to some servers.
571
572 Increase the default size to 1024 bit for client connections to
573 match the server configuration.
574
575 ZFS
576
577 Added ZFS TRIM support which is enabled by default. To disable
578 ZFS TRIM support set vfs.zfs.trim.enabled=0 in loader.conf.
579
580 Creating new ZFS pools and adding new devices to existing pools
581 first performs a full device level TRIM which can take a significant
582 amount of time. The sysctl vfs.zfs.vdev.trim_on_init can be set to 0
583 to disable this behaviour.
584
585 ZFS TRIM requires the underlying device support BIO_DELETE which
586 is currently provided by methods such as ATA TRIM and SCSI UNMAP
587 via CAM, which are typically supported by SSD's.
588
589 Stats for ZFS TRIM can be monitored by looking at the sysctl's
590 under kstat.zfs.misc.zio_trim.
591
592 rc.d
593
594 Reworked handling of cleanvar and FILESYSTEMS so that FILESYSTEMS
595 implies everything is mounted and ready to go.
596
597 Changed how ip6addressctl maps IPv6 on startup.

615 The previous fix for IGMP had an overflow issue. This has been corrected.
616
617 ipv6: The Neighbor Discover Protocol allows a local router to advertise a

632 20150225:
633 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
634
635 1. BIND servers which are configured to perform DNSSEC validation and which
636 are using managed keys (which occurs implicitly when using
637 "dnssec-validation auto;" or "dnssec-lookaside auto;") may exhibit
638 unpredictable behavior due to the use of an improperly initialized
639 variable.
640
641 CVE-2015-1349
642
643 2. An integer overflow in computing the size of IGMPv3 data buffer can result
644 in a buffer which is too small for the requested operation.
645
646 This can result in a DOS attack.
647
648 20141211:

669 20141021:
670 Fix several security vulnerabilities in routed, rtsold,
671 and namei with respect to Capsicum sandboxes looking up
672 nonexistent path names and leaking memory.
673
674 The input path in routed(8) will accept queries from any source and
675 attempt to answer them. However, the output path assumes that the
676 destination address for the response is on a directly connected
677 network.
678
679 Due to a missing length check in the code that handles DNS parameters,
680 a malformed router advertisement message can result in a stack buffer
681 overflow in rtsold(8).

722 to consume large amounts of memory. [CVE-2014-3506]
723
724 The receipt of a specifically crafted DTLS packet could cause OpenSSL to leak
725 memory. [CVE-2014-3507]
726
727 A flaw in OBJ_obj2txt may cause pretty printing functions such as
728 X509_name_oneline, X509_name_print_ex et al. to leak some information from
729 the stack. [CVE-2014-3508]

808 rarpd supports vlan(4) and has a pid flag. (from FreeBSD)
809
810 20130917:
811 Support for 65,536 routing tables was added. A new fib specific
812 field has been added to mbuf. This is an increase from 16.
813
814 20130910:
815 Security updates: (kern.osreldate 5001)
816
817 nullfs(5)
818
819 The nullfs(5) implementation of the VOP_LINK(9) VFS operation does not
820 check whether the source and target of the link are both in the same
821 nullfs instance. It is therefore possible to create a hardlink from a
822 location in one nullfs instance to a file in another, as long as the
823 underlying (source) filesystem is the same.
824
825 ifioctl
826
827 As is commonly the case, the IPv6 and ATM network layer ioctl request
828 handlers are written in such a way that an unrecognized request is
829 passed on unmodified to the link layer, which will either handle it or
830 return an error code.
831
832 Network interface drivers, however, assume that the SIOCSIFADDR,
833 SIOCSIFBRDADDR, SIOCSIFDSTADDR and SIOCSIFNETMASK requests have been
834 handled at the network layer, and therefore do not perform input
835 validation or verify the caller's credentials. Typical link-layer
836 actions for these requests may include marking the interface as "up"
837 and resetting the underlying hardware.
838
839 20130824:
840 Fix a bug in sendmail 8.14.7 that interferes with how it
841 handles AAAA records interoperating with Microsoft DNS servers.
842 FreeBSD has already reported this to Sendmail and a fix
843 will be included in the next release.
844
845 Subversion 1.8.1 is now in the base system as a static
846 binary. It has limited functionality, but can be used to
847 checkout/commit code. It is named svnlite.

849 20130822:
850 Fix two security vulnerabilities.
851
852 Fix an integer overflow in IP_MSFILTER (IP MULTICAST).
853 This could be exploited to read memory by a user process.

945
946 If the pam_ssh module is enabled, attackers may be able to gain access
947 to user accounts which have unencrypted SSH private keys.

1018 20111015:
1019 Introduce CPU Affinity in MidnightBSD. cpuset(1) can be used
1020 to control which core or group of cores can be used for a given
1021 process. Several new system calls were added to support this
1022 functionality in the running kernel and for 32bit binary
1023 compatibility on amd64.
1024
1025 The scheduler default has been changed to ULE in i386 and
1026 amd64. Changes were made to both schedulers (4BSD AND ULE)
1027 for this feature.
1028
1029 This work is based on Jeff Roberson's FreeBSD 7.1 patches.
1030
1031 20111004:

1033 patch to unix socket path handling. This allows network
1034 apps to work under the linuxolator again.
1035
1036 20111001:

1042 Introduce quirks handling for several umass devices including
1043 USB cameras. Add workaround for Cyberpower UPS devices.
1044
1045 Bring in further bug fixes from FreeBSD and NetBSD for alc(4).
1046 Stale ip/tcp header pointers are no longer used, lockups fixed
1047 when network cable is unplugged on bootup, enable TX checksum
1048 offloading.
1049
1050 Add a new man page for gcache(8), a useful geom class when
1051 working with large raid3 sets.
1052
1053 Restore previous workaround for Cypress pata storage controller.
1054
1055 20110929:
1056 Sync ath(4) with FreeBSD 7.3.
1057
1058 The following modules are no longer available, and should be
1059 removed from loader.conf:
1060 ath_hal ath_rate_amrr ath_rate_onoe ath_rate_sample
1061
1062 alc(4) would hibernate when a cable was unplugged and often
1063 required bring the interface down and up to "wake up" so that
1064 a connection could be established. Disable hibernation.
1065
1066 20110928:
1067 Fix security issues with gzip and compress related to .Z
1068 files that are corrupted.
1069

1082 20110806:
1083 sqlite 3.7.7.1 imported
1084
1085 msearch(1), libmsearch and msearch.import added. msearch(1) provides
1086 a full text search command line tool. libmsearch can also be used
1087 to build a graphical based search in the future. You can enable
1088 index building for msearch in periodic.conf or manually run the
1089 /usr/libexec/msearch.index tool. Full text indexes take considerable
1090 space in /var. I'm using approximately 500MB currently.
1091
1092 Fix a long standing bug with the periodic script to check package
1093 versions. This will be obsolete with mport though.
1094
1095 20110710:
1096 kdb_enter_why added to MidnightBSD to allow the kernel debugger to
1097 know why it's in use and thus script can be run.
1098
1099 Yet another problem with the perl manifest was fixed
1100
1101 20110709:
1102 cpufreq(1) is a new utility to monitor CPU frequency which may change
1103 with use of powerd(8) and cpufreq(4).
1104
1105 20110612:
1106 Update mksh to R40
1107
1108 Catch up ObsoleteFiles.inc to remove Perl 5.10.x. Good to run when
1109 updating current (cd /usr/src && make check-old)
1110
1111 20110528:
1112 Fix CVE-2011-1910 in BIND 9.6.x. This affects caching resolvers.
1113
1114 20110526:
1115 newfs:
1116 Raised the default blocksize for UFS/FFS filesystems from
1117 16K to 32K and the default fragment size from 2K to 4K.
1118
1119 This should slightly imporve performance on "advanced format"
1120 hard drives such as the WD EARS drives. Drives of this type
1121 have emulation modes that slow down with lower sizes. Of course
1122 the drive must still be aligned properly when using fdisk.
1123
1124 20110521:
1125 mport tool now has a deleteall command. This can be used to remove
1126 all packages from a system.
1127
1128 A few bugs with the perl 5.14 import have been fixed.
1129
1130 20110518:

1138
1139 cdevpriv wrappers added
1140
1141 nss_mdns hack introduced to work around linking problem.
1142
1143 dnsextd fixed after update to mDNSResponder code.

1210
1211 20101130:
1212 A double free exists in the SSL client ECDH handling code, when
1213 processing specially crafted public keys with invalid prime
1214 numbers. [CVE-2010-2939]
1215
1216 20101120:
1217 Several portions of the kernel and userland code related to UFS file
1218 systems (and UFS2) cannot properly handle inode counts above 2^31 due
1219 to use of int types. Based on a patch from FreeBSD, I've modified
1220 our UFS2 implementation to handle unsigned values for inode counts
1221 which should allow for file systems greater than 16TB.
1222
1223 newfs and growfs was also modified.
1224
1225 20101110:
1226 Fix a security issue with pseudofs which could result in running code in kernel
1227 context or a kernel panic depending on system configuration. This affects file
1228 systems such as procfs for instance.
1229
1230 20101021:
1231 sysrc is a utility to print and modify name/value pairs in /etc/rc.conf easily.
1232 This is similar to functions present in many linux distros. The utility was
1233 written by Devin Teske for FreeBSD.
1234
1235 20100920:
1236 bzip2 security patch for integer overflow.
1237
1238 20100905:
1239 MidnightBSD RELENG_0_3 branch created. Aggressive development continues here
1240 for 0.4.
1241
1242 20100902:
1243 Fix a security issue with libutil that allows users to bypass cpu limits in
1244 login.conf in some cases. This combined with OpenSSH for example can allow
1245 the user to get more resources than they're allowed.
1246
1247 20100822:
1248 Import Apple's mDNSResponder (mdnsd).
1249
1250 20100814:
1251 libdispatch added to MidnightBSD. This provides functionality found in
1252 Mac OS X's GCD. We do not have blocks support yet. As this code is
1253 licensed under Apache 2, we create a new MK_APACHE option so that
1254 it's not required for all users to run code under a license they
1255 may not like.
1256
1257 20100713:
1258 mbuf readonly fix related to sendfile(2) data corruption.

1303 properly pass arguments to ld.
1304
1305 re(4) and rl(4) have been updated to support several new
1306 realtek chipsets. Performance has been improved on re(4).

1318 Import Sendmail 8.14.4. Fix for SSL vulnerability.
1319
1320 posix_spawn(3) added to MidnightBSD libc. Users may need to build and
1321 install libc before doing a full buildworld when upating from 0.2 or
1322 older current systems.
1323
1324 kqueue(2) was modified to support portions of libdispatch functionality.
1325
1326 20100106:
1327 Bind security update. Fix a bug with DNSSEC that causes negative
1328 cache entries and thus a possible DNS cache poisoning attack.
1329
1330 Fix a bug in ZFS that can reset permissions on system crashes.
1331
1332 20091228:
1333 amdtemp(4) was added. It allows one to monitor to the temperature
1334 of an AMD CPU such as a Phenom.
1335
1336 20091205:
1337 OpenSSL security fix
1338
1339 The SSL version 3 and TLS protocols support session renegotiation without
1340 cryptographically tying the new session parameters to the old parameters.
1341
1342 20091128:
1343 OpenBSD sensors framework imported including sensorsd(8)

1354
1355 tzdata2009s updated with latest timezone data for November 2009.
1356
1357 20091010:
1358 amd64 users should use WITHOUT_LIB32=yes in /etc/make.conf for now
1359 to test current.
1360
1361 Revert unicode filename fixes from ntfs code. This was causing chaos
1362 on amd64 systems.
1363
1364 20091006:
1365 Update timezone data with tzdata2009n with the Pakistan and
1366 Argentina changes.
1367
1368 Sync several userland utilities with versions from FreeBSD 7.0 in
1369 sbin and usr.sbin.
1370
1371 20090919:
1372 Update timezone data with tzdate2009m from September 2009.
1373
1374 20090729:
1375 Patch for Bind 9 security vulnerability. a dynmaic update packet
1376 can trigger an assertion and cause named to exit
1377
1378 20090606:
1379 Remove PCC from the base system. This compiler will not work
1380 as a system compiler for us as we've got some userland investment
1381 in C++ code and may have Objective-C in the future. We're stuck
1382 with a solution that supports these three languages at a minimum.
1383
1384 I had wanted to keep it as an optional compiler because it is
1385 fast, however too many users want to try to use it for the base
1386 system which makes no sense.
1387
1388 A hack was added for Cypress based usb hard drive enclosures to
1389 the kernel. This should cut down on commands it claims to support
1390 but does not (at the cam layer). Found while testing ZFS on
1391 an external device.
1392
1393 20090520:
1394 The powerd daemon no longer starts automatically to improve
1395 compatibility with many systems. However, there is a new
1396 installer option in the startup section to enable it. This
1397 makes it easier to enable for users that have working systems. I thought it was only a problem on older hardware, but it freaks
1398 out my new Phenom too.
1399
1400 20090502:
1401 OpenSSH 5.2p1 import
1402
1403 ale(4) connected to the build. (kernel module only)
1404
1405 20090501:
1406 Imported makefs utility from NetBSD/FreeBSD
1407
1408 20090422:
1409 OpenSSL security update
1410
1411 The function ASN1_STRING_print_ex does not properly validate the lengths
1412 of BMPString or UniversalString objects before attempting to print them.
1413
1414 20090415:
1415 Created a Symbol.map for libc/ohash symbols
1416
1417 Updated several usr/bin usr/sbin utilities.
1418
1419 Corrected a bug with Makefile.inc1 causing the bootstrap
1420 tools to fail.
1421
1422 20090405:
1423 xorg 7.4 wants to configure its input devices via hald which does not
1424 yet work with USB. If the keyboard/mouse does not work in xorg then
1425 add
1426 Option "AllowEmptyInput" "off"
1427 to your ServerLayout section. This will cause X to use the configured
1428 kbd and mouse sections from your xorg.conf
1429
1430 20090403:
1431 mksh was disconnected a few day ago do to bugs with
1432 buildworld and mports. Now, connect it back
1433 for use as /bin/sh with a conditional called
1434 MK_ASH. By default, ash is the standard /bin/sh
1435 but we may change this later. This will allow further
1436 testing by users and developers of mksh without
1437 causing an unpleasant default experience. In the
1438 long run, we need to fix mksh compatibility.
1439
1440 20090328:
1441 Bring in mksh R37 from CVS. The dot.mkshrc files for root
1442 and skel were changed. mksh(1) now replaces ash aka sh(1)
1443 as the default /bin/sh. Please report bugs with
1444 ports, etc. The ash code will remain in the repo for awhile
1445 as I decide if we'll add something like MK_SHELL_ASH as
1446 an optional build parameter.
1447
1448 ahd was disconnected from the lint environment until
1449 the compiler bug is sorted (by updating gcc?)
1450
1451 Remove freebsd-tips from fortune files and change the
1452 default for login and profile.
1453
1454 20090327:
1455 Update libarchive to 2.5.5, tar, and add bsdcpio.
1456
1457 Also previously, ctriv has been connecting Perl 5.10
1458 to the build (part of os). This will have an impact
1459 on mports.
1460
1461 20090325:
1462 Update Bind to 9.4.3-P1
1463
1464 Update mksh to R36b
1465
1466 Update tcpdump to 3.9.8, fix libpcap to work with current.
1467
1468 Update pnpinfo, sync with FreeBSD.
1469
1470 20090115:
1471 Fix a problem with DNSSEC and BIND.
1472
1473 20090110:
1474 For applications using OpenSSL for SSL connections, an invalid SSL
1475 certificate may be interpreted as valid. This could for example be
1476 used by an attacker to perform a man-in-the-middle attack.
1477
1478 Other applications which use the OpenSSL EVP API may similarly be
1479 affected.
1480
1481 Stop cross site request forgery attacks in lukemftpd
1482
1483 20090104:
1484 Import GNU libreadline 5.2

1488
1489 20081231:
1490 Correct a problem where bluetooth and netgraph sockets are not
1491 properly initialized.
1492
1493 Happy 2009.
1494
1495 20081206:
1496 Due to the massive change in the underlying system under way,
1497 we're naming the next release 1.0. The sys/sys/param.h was
1498 changed accordingly. ipfilter and ncurses were corrected
1499 using __MidnightBSD__ tests in the code.
1500
1501 The GENERIC kernel config was caught up on i386 today. Consider
1502 i386 still broken, but amd64 is running again.
1503
1504 mdoc.local was updated with the new MidnightBSD version info.
1505
1506 batt(1) was rewritten in C. It now supports several flags and
1507 runs about 8 times faster on my laptop. The default output
1508 shows the number of minutes of battery life remaining and the
1509 percentage. You can use -u to display the number of batteries or
1510 -c to get script friendly output. Consult the man page for more.
1511
1512 20081204:
1513 Work has completed on importing ZFS, jemalloc, several
1514 new devices, SCTP, updated pf, a new tempfs, linuxolator 2.6 kernel
1515 support, improved locking for file desc., audit (openbsm),
1516 openssl .98e, nfe, imporved intel high def audio, midi, updated
1517 intel gigabit (em), support for several wifi cards (intel), ...
1518
1519 Renamed 0.3-CURRENT officially. Switched to using MidnightBSD version
1520 data from param.h instead of the FreeBSD version. This means
1521 testing is now possible in the ports tree for the version
1522 and that any ports or code relying on the FreeBSD version from
1523 sys/sys/param.h will need to be fixed.
1524
1525 20080905:
1526 update nve(4) to support new hardware.
1527
1528 20080801:

1530
1531 Modify src/release to create 3 isos instead of 2 for packages.
1532
1533 etc/rc.d/firstboot now enables kdm, gnustep + slim and bsdstats.
1534
1535 Many ia64, alpha, powerpc items were removed.
1536
1537 The recent diffutils 2.8.7 import was fixed.
1538
1539 20080703:
1540 pcc was not installed properly when setting DESTDIR for live cds,
1541 or posibly jails.
1542
1543 20080627:
1544 Add firmware(9), WEP, CCMP, TKIP to GENERIC.
1545
1546 Add glabel to GENERIC.
1547
1548 Intel ICH8 mobile chipset used on some iMacs included with ata.
1549

1553
1554 20080528:
1555 Sendmail 8.14.3
1556
1557 20080516:
1558 ssh-vulnkey allows you to look for vulnerable ssh keys that
1559 were generated on Debian and Ubuntu hosts over the last
1560 few years. sshd can block offending keys with a configuration
1561 option.
1562
1563 The elf note on binaries is now set to MidnightBSD.
1564
1565 20080514:
1566 Fixed a number of problems with pcc. It is not yet connected
1567 to the build, but usable on i386 hosts. You may use it
1568 by make; make install in /usr/src/usr.bin/pcc. It will
1569 install in /usr/local as some of the files conflict with
1570 GCC versions. __MidnightBSD__ is defined in PCC as well.
1571
1572 System headers were fixed to allow pcc to compile many binaries
1573 on MidnightBSD. bin/cp will work now for instance.
1574
1575 20080430:
1576 __MidnightBSD__ is now defined via gcc. This can be tested
1577 to determine we're running on MidnightBSD in the preprocessor.
1578
1579 20080429:
1580 Import bind 9.4.2 with threading
1581

1628
1629 Added a new macro to sx.h which returns true if the current
1630 thread holds an exclusive lock on a specifix sx.
1631
1632 Removed OS/2's HPFS file system. It's not maintained and
1633 I don't know anyone using OS/2 or ecomstation these days.
1634 My copy is in the closet collecting dust.
1635
1636 20080306:
1637 Synced tinderbox with FreeBSD. Modified it for MidnightBSD.
1638 Developers can now use it to check src builds.
1639
1640 20080303:
1641 Add mksh to /etc/shells, made some adjustments to options

1666 so multiple servers are used.
1667
1668 Fix an issue with fork() in libpthread.
1669
1670 20080121:
1671 Add virtualization detection to set the HZ rate
1672 according to a VM present. VMWare and Parallels
1673 should work better like this.
1674
1675 Change to full x11 install in sysinstall. Add
1676 xorg 7 support.
1677
1678 20080115:

1696 20070911:
1697 Updated mksh to version R31b.
1698
1699 Fixed stderr output in libpthread. Previously it was
1700 written to stdout.
1701
1702 20070831:
1703 Added dot.mkshrc file to support the recent change to
1704 mksh from OpenBSD's ksh derived from pdksh.
1705
1706 Added new firewall configuration. ipfw is enabled by default
1707 with a "desktop" configuration. Consult /etc/rc.firewall
1708 or ipfw show to see the ruleset used. You can disable
1709 ipfw by setting firewall_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf This
1710 change only effects IPv4. IPv6 does not have a firewall
1711 enabled by default.
1712
1713 20070814:
1714 Removed GNU tar source. We've been using BSD tar
1715 for awhile.
1716
1717 20070806:
1718 Finished removing umapfs and autofs from the tree.
1719
1720 20070804:
1721 BIND and Tcpdump have been patched for recent vulnerabilities.
1722
1723 We switched to BSD cpio (pax).
1724
1725 20070719:
1726 Imported cpdup from DragonFly as /bin/cpdup
1727
1728 20070716:
1729 Update GNU cpio to 2.8.
1730
1731 20070410:
1732 cvs was updated to 1.12.13. cvsbug was removed.
1733 cvs now behaves similarly to DragonFly's cvs with
1734 most of their local changes.
1735
1736 20070409:
1737 RELENG_0_1 was created. More aggresive changes will
1738 continue here.
1739
1740 20070406:
1741 Back out propolice. propolice caused several problems
1742 with our threading libraries libthr and libpthread.
1743 curthread was often NULL after the patch and many
1744 multithreaded applications would crash. We plan to
1745 work on either bringing in gcc 4.1 or developing a new
1746 patch which also corrects our threading issues later.
1747
1748 It is more important to have a stable system for our
1749 mport work and other projects at this time.
1750
1751 This is not a clean removal. It is recommended that you
1752 have a recently SNAP CD handy. You can either reinstall
1753 or perform a make buildworld and make buildkernel and
1754 make installkernel. Reboot on the cd and copy the contents
1755 of /bin, /sbin, /lib, /libexec, and /usr/bin, /usr/sbin,
1756 /usr/lib, and /usr/libexec to the respective directories on
1757 your disk. Then you should be able to boot into single user
1758 mode and run make installworld. You will need to run
1759 chflags noschg on some of the files if you can't overwrite
1760 them.
1761
1762 You will get __guard missing errors since we had to remove
1763 this from libc.
1764
1765 You will need to rebuild any ports built while propolice was
1766 installed.
1767
1768 20070401:
1769 Importing propolice into MidnightBSD. Propolice is going to
1770 provide us with much greater security and stability in the
1771 long run. If upgrading from a pre-propolice system, please
1772 follow the these instructions:
1773
1774 cd /usr/src/lib/libc && make obj && make && make install
1775 cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc && make obj && make && make install
1776 cd /usr/src/lib/libpthread && make obj && make && make install
1777 cd /usr/src/lib/libthr && make obj && make && make install
1778 buildworld and kernel
1779
1780 It is adviced that any mports which were installed and/or built
1781 prior to the propolice update also be updated. If any errors
1782 or issue are encounted, please contact security@midnightbsd.org
1783 and we will be sure to investigate and come up with an expeditious
1784 fix.
1785
1786 20070314:
1787 Remove send-pr from src.
1788
1789 Switch to NetBSD's gzip.
1790
1791 Bump MBSD minor revision.
1792
1793 20070313:
1794 Imported OpenSSH 4.6p1.
1795
1796 Imported FreeBSD's libarchive and updated tar to work with it.
1797
1798 Disabled debug statements cluttering up /var/log/messages for
1799 the tcp autobuf patch applied previously.
1800
1801 20070312:
1802 Synced several audio changes from FreeBSD 6.1. Removed the
1803 BSD Daemon files from src/share.
1804
1805 20070308:
1806 Added mfi which supports LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS devices including
1807 the Dell perc5i.
1808
1809 20070206:
1810 Imported OpenBSD's sudo into source. Please install
1811 /usr/src/usr.bin/sudo/lib first before building.
1812
1813 Those who install from a snapshot after this date
1814 will not be effected.
1815
1816 20070119:
1817 Added audit group. Be sure to add audit to your /etc/group file
1818 before installing world.
1819
1820 hostapd was updated to 0.4.8.
1821
1822 An accidental commit in usr.sbin/bluetooth/hccontrol was fixed to
1823 unbreak world.
1824
1825 wpa_supplicant was updated.
1826
1827 For stability and compatibility reasons, it was decided that MidnightBSD
1828 sync with FreeBSD 6.1 Release. Nearly every change between the original
1829 fork date of February 24, 2006 and the release of FreeBSD 6.1 in May
1830 2006 will be merged. Beyond this, MidnightBSD will be a "real" fork and
1831 will not sync every little change with FreeBSD.
1832
1833 20061231:
1834 Updated COPYRIGHT for 2007.
1835
1836 Updated and bumped libutil after importing NetBSD efun(3) functions.
1837
1838 Added MidnightBSD_version and bumped the FreeBSD version as we've
1839 synced all commits between the fork and that version. It is now safe
1840 to assume MidnightBSD is compatible with FreeBSD RELENG_6 from
1841 Feb 26, 2006.
1842
1843 Added spell(1) and deroff(1) from NetBSD. Also added additional
1844 dict files to work with it. /usr/share/dict/american,
1845 /usr/share/dict/british and /usr/share/dict/special/math
1846
1847 Numerous man page and bug fixes.
1848
1849 20061226:
1850 Setup /usr/share/examples/cvsup SUPfiles for the new
1851 MidnightBSD CVSup server.
1852
1853 Fix a bug in burncd where it would continue forever while
1854 erasing CDRW media.
1855
1856 Add csup to /usr/bin. csup is a CVSup replacement written
1857 in C.
1858
1859 Fixed a bug with bsnmpd build from Oct 30.
1860
1861 Corrected some race conditions and fixed a few bugs in
1862 geom. Imported changes from FreeBSD RELENG_6.
1863
1864 20061225:
1865 Fixed a typo in src/lib/libc/sparc64/fpu/fpu_implode.c
1866 that caused long double to long and long long
1867 conversion of negative numbers to always result in -1.
1868
1869 20061221:
1870 Fixed acpi_battery.c to not report an ERROR if no
1871 batteries are present.
1872
1873 Performed some minor updates on the RL and RE NIC drivers.
1874 RL should no longer panic when trying to print errors.
1875
1876 Corrected a bug with TTY.
1877
1878 20061218:
1879 Corrected a bug with libpthread where newly created suspended
1880 threads don't get scheduled.
1881
1882 20061206:
1883 Fixed a typo with the firewire security patch.
1884
1885 20061129:
1886 Minor cleanups to utilities in bin.
1887
1888 Fixed msdos file system short file name behavior to match
1889 FreeBSD.
1890
1891 20061031:
1892 Updated man pages in section 7.
1893
1894 20061030:
1895 Updated sys/dev/drm to support intel 915 and radeon
1896 r300 cards properly.
1897
1898 Synced snmpd with FreeBSD-stable.
1899
1900 Fixed a bug in rm which could cause data loss.
1901
1902 20061027:
1903 Added Intel ICH8 and nForce 5 support to ATA. cam, mpt,
1904 random, kbdmux, atkbd, and usb were updated. Changes
1905 to clearing registers on SSE enabled processors (i386)
1906 commited.
1907
1908 lukemftpd updated.
1909
1910 openssh rc script was altered which effects initial
1911 seeding.
1912
1913 20061014:
1914 Workaround for em driver problem on shared IRQ.
1915
1916 Started removal of alpha support.
1917
1918 20061013:
1919 ATA driver was updated. USB/USB1/USB2 types added.
1920
1921 20061010:
1922 OpenSSH was updated to 4.4p1.
1923
1924 20060909:
1925 OpenNTPD was added to MidnightBSD. Run make delete-old to remove
1926 the old ntpd daemon.
1927
1928 cat has a new option -D which allows you to timestamp output
1929 on a per line basis.
1930
1931 The kernel has a keyboard mux which allows you to have multiple
1932 keyboard connected simultaneously. USB keyboard support was also
1933 improved with this patch.
1934
1935 The Intel em driver was updated. Network performance was greatly
1936 increased on many systems. Additional models are supported.
1937
1938 The ATA driver was patched to fix a potential deadlock.
1939
1940 Bind was patched to fix a potential denial of service condition.
1941
1942 20060817:
1943 ksh has been added to the base system. If you previously had
1944 the port installed, it will be overwritten on the next buildworld.
1945
1946
1947
1948 To build a kernel
1949 -----------------
1950 If you are updating from a prior version of MidnightBSD (even one just
1951 a few days old), you should follow this procedure. With a
1952 /usr/obj tree with a fresh buildworld,
1953 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1954 make -DALWAYS_CHECK_MAKE installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1955
1956 To test a kernel once
1957 ---------------------
1958 If you just want to boot a kernel once (because you are not sure
1959 if it works, or if you want to boot a known bad kernel to provide
1960 debugging information) run
1961 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE KODIR=/boot/testkernel
1962 nextboot -k testkernel
1963
1964 To just build a kernel when you know that it won't mess you up
1965 --------------------------------------------------------------
1966 This assumes you are already running a 6.X system. Replace
1967 ${arch} with the architecture of your machine (e.g. "i386",
1968 "amd64", "ia64", "pc98", "sparc64", etc).
1969
1970 cd src/sys/${arch}/conf
1971 config KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1972 cd ../compile/KERNEL_NAME_HERE
1973 make depend
1974 make
1975 make install
1976
1977 If this fails, go to the "To build a kernel" section.
1978
1979 To rebuild everything and install it on the current system.
1980 -----------------------------------------------------------
1981 # Note: sometimes if you are running current you gotta do more than
1982 # is listed here if you are upgrading from a really old current.
1983
1984 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
1985 make buildworld
1986 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
1987 [1]
1988 <reboot in single user> [3]
1989 mergemaster -p [5]
1990 make installworld
1991 make delete-old
1992 mergemaster [4]
1993 <reboot>
1994
1995
1996 To cross-install current onto a separate partition
1997 --------------------------------------------------
1998 # In this approach we use a separate partition to hold
1999 # current's root, 'usr', and 'var' directories. A partition
2000 # holding "/", "/usr" and "/var" should be about 2GB in
2001 # size.
2002
2003 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2004 <boot into -stable>
2005 make buildworld
2006 make buildkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE
2007 <maybe newfs current's root partition>
2008 <mount current's root partition on directory ${CURRENT_ROOT}>
2009 make installworld DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2010 cd src/etc; make distribution DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT} # if newfs'd
2011 make installkernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE DESTDIR=${CURRENT_ROOT}
2012 cp /etc/fstab ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab # if newfs'd
2013 <edit ${CURRENT_ROOT}/etc/fstab to mount "/" from the correct partition>
2014 <reboot into current>
2015 <do a "native" rebuild/install as described in the previous section>
2016 <maybe install compatibility libraries from src/lib/compat>
2017 <reboot>
2018
2019
2020 To upgrade in-place from 5.x-stable or higher to 6.x-stable
2021 -----------------------------------------------------------
2022 <make sure you have good level 0 dumps>
2023 make buildworld [9]
2024 make kernel KERNCONF=YOUR_KERNEL_HERE [8]
2025 [1]
2026 <reboot in single user> [3]
2027 mergemaster -p [5]
2028 make installworld
2029 make delete-old
2030 mergemaster -i [4]
2031 <reboot>
2032
2033 Make sure that you've read the UPDATING file to understand the
2034 tweaks to various things you need. At this point in the life
2035 cycle of current, things change often and you are on your own
2036 to cope. The defaults can also change, so please read ALL of
2037 the UPDATING entries.
2038
2039 Also, if you are tracking -current, you must be subscribed to
2040 freebsd-current@freebsd.org. Make sure that before you update
2041 your sources that you have read and understood all the recent
2042 messages there. If in doubt, please track -stable which has
2043 much fewer pitfalls.
2044
2045 [1] If you have third party modules, such as vmware, you
2046 should disable them at this point so they don't crash your
2047 system on reboot.
2048
2049 [3] From the bootblocks, boot -s, and then do
2050 fsck -p
2051 mount -u /
2052 mount -a
2053 cd src
2054 adjkerntz -i # if CMOS is wall time
2055 Also, when doing a major release upgrade, it is required that
2056 you boot into single user mode to do the installworld.
2057
2058 [4] Note: This step is non-optional. Failure to do this step
2059 can result in a significant reduction in the functionality of the
2060 system. Attempting to do it by hand is not recommended and those
2061 that pursue this avenue should read this file carefully, as well
2062 as the archives of freebsd-current and freebsd-hackers mailing lists
2063 for potential gotchas.
2064
2065 [5] Usually this step is a noop. However, from time to time
2066 you may need to do this if you get unknown user in the following
2067 step. It never hurts to do it all the time.
2068
2069 [8] In order to have a kernel that can run the 5.x binaries
2070 needed to do an installworld, you must include the COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2071 option in your kernel. Failure to do so may leave you with a system
2072 that is hard to boot to recover. A similar kernel option COMPAT_FREEBSD5
2073 is required to run the 5.x binaries on more recent kernels.
2074
2075 Make sure that you merge any new devices from GENERIC since the
2076 last time you updated your kernel config file.
2077
2078 [9] When checking out sources, you must include the -P flag to have
2079 cvs prune empty directories.
2080
2081 If CPUTYPE is defined in your /etc/make.conf, make sure to use the
2082 "?=" instead of the "=" assignment operator, so that buildworld can
2083 override the CPUTYPE if it needs to.
2084
2085 MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX must be defined in an environment variable, and
2086 not on the command line, or in /etc/make.conf. buildworld will
2087 warn if it is improperly defined.
