This is a reminder that the Athena 9.1.12 patch release is currently
scheduled for the evening of Monday July 29. Changes include:
* Pine can see inbox folders in the MH and local Pine mail stores.
* olcr now includes a reply-to header by default.
* An sshd security hole has been fixed. (Our configuration was not
vulnerable to it, but it's good to be sure.)
* sshd now understands MD5 passwords in the passwd file on Linux.
* sshd will only log root logins if they actually succeed.
* The OpenAFS client (used on Linux and Solaris) won't enforce list
permission checks which the server wouldn't enforce.
* Terminal handling in the bash login dotfile has been fixed.
* emacs -nw should work on IRIX.
* The emacs cursor-in-non-selected variable should work properly
now.
* Linux machines set PUBLIC=true will fix up XFree86 4.x config
files.
* On Linux, the gdb and psmisc RPMs are updated with new versions
from Red Hat.
* Some (but not all) obsolete local symlinks from the 9.0 Solaris
release will be cleaned up.
* Solaris patch 108606-22 is installed to keep the X server from
crashing on the julia and penrose xscreensaver screen hacks.
* The Solaris SUNWapchu package will be removed, since it contains a
vulnerable Apache daemon, and isn't the recommmended way to run a
web server on a Solaris machine anyway.
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.
