 ERRATA.TXT contains post-release ERRATA for 2.2.6 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

 ---- Security Advisories:
 
 Current active security advisories for 2.2.6:	None
 
 ---- System Update Information:
 
 o  Root mountpoint change which affects those upgrading via "make world"
    or a FreeBSD 2.2.6 upgrade.
 
 Fix:  2.2.6 introduces a change in the naming of the device from
 which the root filesystem is mounted.  This change affects all systems,
 however user intervention is only required for systems undergoing an
 upgrade installation.
 
 Previously, the root filesystem was always mounted from the
 compatibility slice, while other partitions on the same disk were
 mounted from their true slice.  This might, for example, have resulted
 in an /etc/fstab file like:
 
 # Device      Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
 /dev/wd0s2b   none            swap    sw              0       0
 /dev/wd0a     /               ufs     rw              1       1
 /dev/wd0s2f   /local0         ufs     rw              1       1
 /dev/wd0s2e   /usr            ufs     rw              1       1
 
 For FreeBSD 2.2.6 and later, this format changes so that the device for
 '/' is consistent with others, ie.
 
 # Device      Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
 /dev/wd0s2b   none            swap    sw              0       0
 /dev/wd0s2a   /               ufs     rw              1       1
 /dev/wd0s2f   /local0         ufs     rw              1       1 
 /dev/wd0s2e   /usr            ufs     rw              1       1
 
 
 If /etc/fstab is not updated manually in this case, the system will
 issue a warning message whenever / is mounted (normally at startup)
 indicating the change that must be made.  In addition, trouble may be
 experienced if the root filesystem is not correctly unmounted, whereby
 the root filesystem will not be marked clean at the next reboot.
 
 This change should be made as soon as the upgraded system has been 
 successfully rebooted.

 o  The ppp program fails to work, citing a missing shared library
    called "libdes.so.3.0".
 
-Fix:  There are two possible fixes:  The first and easiest fix is to
-simply install the des distribution with /stand/sysinstall, remembering
-to pick a site that will allow you to export it if you're outside
-the United States and Canada (ftp.freebsd.org and ftp.internat.freebsd.org
-both fall into this category).  The second fix, which doesn't involve
-having to fetch DES bits, is to install the ppp sources in
-/usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp and rebuild them.  The sources are "smart" enough
-to know that the DES library isn't on the system and won't create a
-binary which depends on it.  Note:  If you choose the latter fix, you also
-will not be able to use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication.

+      ldconfig -m /usr/lib

+use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication.
