The Athena 9.0.22 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday January 21. Changes in this patch release include:
* panel won't nuke your external applets (such as the taskbar)
anymore if you double-click on the logout button.
* ifhp (the HP printer control program we use with lprng) should be
properly configured on Linux.
* krb5.conf has some new realms.
* ntpd should actually synchronize time now, on all platforms, we
hope.
* There are some security fixes (none of the problems are easily
exploitable, just worrisome) in the krb5 login, ftp, and ftpd
programs.
* On Solaris, patches 109279-18, 109742-04, 111310-01, 109904-05,
109906-06, 111293-04, and 108528-12 were applied to fix a problem
which could lock up Sunblade and Netra X1 machines (among others).
* On Linux, the root and bot filesystems will be changed from ext2fs
to ext3fs, for greater robustness.
* On Linux, the iptables, pam, usermode, kernel, and kernel-headers
RPMs were upgrade to stay current with Red Hat 7.1.
If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
