Here are the known problems with the 8.1 release, going into alpha.
This list only includes new problems, not known problems in the 8.0
release:
* syslogd complains about /usr/adm/sulog not existing. I
haven't found yet where thes files get created.
* I believe some packages using X imake templates, such as
wcl, don't get their man pages installed.
* console.pid, dm.pid, and snmpd.pid get left behind in
/etc/athena after the update is done. I'm trying to come up
with the cleanest way of nuking them (probably either moving
them to /var/athena in the version script, or adding a bit
of code in finish-update which will become obsolete when 8.0
becomes irrelevant).
* telnet -safe to an 8.1 machine yields "Unknown code Ww 112
()" followed by the contents of the group file, and then
fails with "No such file or directory (/etc/group)". I hope
to fix this one during the weekend.
* Mail to root@machine on a mkserv mail'd machine bounces with
an error about creating output.
* Mail to username@localhost gets sent to the relay host and
bounced. This may also be the case in 8.0, and is not
necessarily important.
