5.0-CURRENT -- was doing a make buildworld -j 2. Sadly, I don't know what exact date the source was from, as I had just cvsup'd and started building, but I expect in the last week and a half. I was running with capabilities patches going, but I wouldn't imagine that it would cause this

middle mouse button emulation broken in 4.0-STABLE?

2000-04-14 Thread Robert Watson
Not sure if this should go to -current or -stable, since we seem to get a lot of instant MFC's these days :-). I upgraded a notebook from 4.0-RELEASE to -STABLE last night. After doing so, I noticed that the middle mouse button emulation in moused seems to be fairly broken -- i.e., once it's

Yup -- I neglected to update the ext2fs code (which uses UFS stuff) to include the requisite include files. Please try the attached patch against src/sys/gnu/ext2fs, and let me know if it works, and I'll go ahead and commit it. I caught the weird Coda dependancy, but guess I missed this one.

FYI: I committed the addition of the magic number and version information an hour or two ago. It seems to work fine for me, but please let me know if you have any problems. A migration tool doesn't seem useful yet, but is now feasible :-). In a day or two, I'll send a post to freebsd-fs

At bde's request, I moved kern.suser_permitted to kern_prot.c and accidentally also trimmed kern.securelevel. I just committed it back into kern_mib.c. Please let me know if there are further problems. That said, I'm a little puzzled as to where securelevel is being defined -- a bunch of

This is great news -- one of the big hangups in our interop testing at NAI Labs was the like of IKE on FreeBSD. I notice that right now racoon is a port -- assuming this interpretation is correct, are their any plans to integrate racoon as a base system component? As you point out, without
