I've updated several of the browser ports to correct security issues.

Firefox & linux-firefox
linux-flock
linux-seamonkey
Opera & linux-opera

CURRENT now has a patch to correct a potential security issue with sendfile. Files were not checked prior to serving which would allow a file that was write only to be served. While this scenario is rare, we decided to fix it anyway.

sendfile is used by many daemons including Apache httpd.

I've modified the analog port to report several additional BSDs including MidnightBSD, MirBSD and Dragonfly.

Magus has been down since december for a rewrite. I've discussed this previously. The build master was brought down for a faculty member to take the video card in the last week. It had been up 113 days which is a record for any machines I'm running. The website has not been restored as of yet, but the system was upgraded to 1GB of RAM.

ctriv hopes to complete the software soon.
