Hello guys (girls ?),


I fixed a couple of bugs in FreeBSD-950412-SNAP. I thought it great to
include them in your next release.


DESCRIPTION:
~~~~~~~~~~~

These are:

	-> in yp_order() in  lib/libc/gen/getpwent.c
which caused some NIS programs to crash,

	-> in /usr/src/sys/i386/isa/ultra14f.c which
caused SCSI errors not to be reported. For example, when doing a
multi-volume restore, the end of tape is not detected and restore
hangs indefinitely reading null bytes instead of EOF.

	-> in /usr/src/sys/scsi/(st.c,scsi_tape.h) 
	-> and /usr/src/usr.bin/mt.*
I added QFA (quick file access) commands which can be used on the
Archive Viper 150 (SCSI-1, 250Mb, QIC-150). You can do
"mt tell" and "mt seek blk_no", see the updated manpage.


I don't really know how to send you the patches, maybe you'd like diff
files but I changed the code indentation to the one used by EMACS.


GETTING THEM:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The total size is 144k. You can get them on our ftp server
ftp://ftp.cpc.wmin.ac.uk/pub/archive/FreeBSD/patches-from-950412
(expanded)

or
ftp://ftp.cpc.wmin.ac.uk/pub/archive/FreeBSD/patches-from-950412.tar.gz
(guess what it is !)


			------------

I hope you will find them useful.


Best regards and keep the good work going on !

Philippe.
