5:05 PM - Security, time zones, ...

A security issue was recently corrected in the kernel on 0.1.1, 0.2 and current (0.3) MidnightBSD.  Be sure to update your system.  For 0.2.1, this is 0.2.1-RELEASE-p4.

Users of current should also consider updating their src tree if they have not recently.  Most recently, env was fixed.  

I updated the time zone files today (2008i) to account for things like the added leap second, and various international changes that have occurred since March 2008.   

There was a bug in imake on current that ctriv@ corrected today.  This in combination with one of the xorg config files ports caused some problems in current.  Users of current should update their ports tree and rebuild these ports.
