 ---- 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 three possible fixes:  
   
 1. The 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).
   
 2. Purely as a work-around, and what you may need to do if ppp 
    also constitutes your only way of getting to the net, is to simply
    do the following (as root):
 
       cp /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libdes.so.3.0      
       ldconfig -m /usr/lib
 
 3. Another fix, and one which doesn't involve having to fetch the 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 2nd or 3rd fixes, you also will not be able to 
 use MSCHAP (Microsoft Win*) style authentication.
 
+
+o The xterm program in XFree86 3.3.2 doesn't remove utmp entries on
+  exit (e.g. xterm sessions show up in "who" or "w" even after they've
+  exited).
+
+Fix:  Fetch the updated xterm binary at:
+
+  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/updates/xterm
+
+Or get the *latest* ports collection on your machine (see
+http://www.freebsd.org/ports) and use the port in x11/XFree86 to
+build an xterm with this patch already applied (as of 98/04/06).
+The patch itself can also be obtained from the port itself:
+
+   ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/x11/XFree86/patches/patch-ag
+
+
+o The older Matsushita (Panasonic), Sony CDU-31 and Mitsumi (non-IDE) 
+  CDROM drives no longer permit CDROM installs. 
+  
+Fix:  Fetch an updated boot floppy from the updates/ directory, e.g.:
+
+  ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/2.2.6-RELEASE/updates/boot.flp
+
+And use it to install 2.2.6 instead.  This problem is fixed in 2.2-stable 
+and will not be a problem with the next FreeBSD release.
