These are my personal *MUST-FIX* and 33670 and perhaps 46866 are "last chance to fix for the next five years or so" (i. e. before FreeBSD 6 goes -STABLE), they cannot be fixed while FreeBSD 5 is -STABLE. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/56675 (ext2fs mount impairs syncher at shutdown, causing super block corruption) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/46866 (critical getpwent()-vs-NIS bug) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/60313 (data corruption: lseek() not reporting alignment error, includes patch that address the issue halfways) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=standards/45738 (includes trivial and obviously correct patch: shell flags error for trying to unset a non-existent variable, standard demands that this operation be successful) And this is a *SHOULD-FIX*: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=bin/33670 (security bug: default inetd configuration allows for memory exhaustion exploit) I'm willing to help with these as far as my skills reach. -- Matthias Andree NOTE YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE MY MAIL IF YOU'RE USING SPF!
