>Number: 164682 >Category: docs >Synopsis: Handbook contains wrong information about Flash players >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-doc >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: doc-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Wed Feb 01 04:20:09 UTC 2012 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Adam VandeMore >Release: FreeBSD STABLE 8/9 >Organization: >Environment: >Description: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/desktop-browsers.html This page contains the following section: ----------------------------------------------------------- The Linux® process file system, linprocfs(5) has to be mounted on /compat/linux/proc, if one wants to play Flash animations. This can be done via the following command: # mount -t linprocfs linproc /compat/linux/proc This point can be automated at boot time with the addition of the matching line in /etc/fstab: linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 ----------------------------------------------------------- This information doesn't seem to be necessary as Flash plays fine without it mounted. If it isn't necessary, it's a potential security threat. >How-To-Repeat: Use flash player without linprocfs mounted. >Fix: Remove the unneeded text: The Linux® process file system, linprocfs(5) has to be mounted on /compat/linux/proc, if one wants to play Flash animations.
