------------------------------------------------------------------
---- SYSTEM ERRATA INFORMATION:
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
