He just sent me a list of PRs and descriptions for fixed Y2K problems in FreeBSD, and asked me to mark it up and submit it back to the project. Hence this PR. >How-To-Repeat: N/A >Fix: Apply this patch: Index: y2kbug.sgml =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/local/cvs-reps/FreeBSD/www/data/y2kbug.sgml,v retrieving revision 1.2 diff -c -r1.2 y2kbug.sgml *** y2kbug.sgml 1998/02/12 04:52:30 1.2 --- y2kbug.sgml 1998/02/19 23:40:33 *************** *** 47,52 **** --- 47,80 ---- 1999 to 2000, and that it correctly interprets the year 2000 as a leap year.

Fixed problems

+ +

The following Y2K problems have been identified and fixed in + FreeBSD.

+ +
+
misc/1380
+
Several programs have a hardcoded 19%d in responses for the year. + Affected programs include: yacc, ftpd, and make.
+ +
conf/1382
+
The sed script in /etc/rc.local that builds the host/kernel ID line + for the message of the day relies on the year not going past + 1999.
+ +
misc/3465
+
The etc/namedb/make-localhost command generates the DNS serial + number as YYMMDD. In the year 2000, this will be generated as + 1YYMMDD.
+ +
gnu/4930
+
groff tmac macros have hardcoded 19 for generating some dates.
