1 Introduction

This errata document contains ``late-breaking news'' about FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE. Before installing this version, it is important to consult this document to learn about any post-release discoveries or problems that may already have been found and fixed.

Any version of this errata document actually distributed with the release (for example, on a CDROM distribution) will be out of date by definition, but other copies are kept updated on the Internet and should be consulted as the ``current errata'' for this release. These other copies of the errata are located at http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/, plus any sites which keep up-to-date mirrors of this location.

Source and binary snapshots of FreeBSD 4-STABLE also contain up-to-date copies of this document (as of the time of the snapshot).

For a list of all FreeBSD CERT security advisories, see http://security.FreeBSD.org/ or ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/.

Note: FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE, as well as the FreeBSD 4-STABLE branch from which it comes, have reached ``End of Life'' status and are no longer supported as of 1 February 2007. Specifically, the Security Officer Team will no longer be issuing advisories against FreeBSD 4-STABLE. In addition, the Ports Manager Team will no longer perform package builds for 4-STABLE, and building ports from source on 4-STABLE is no longer supported.

Additional information on this topic can be found in a posting to the FreeBSD-STABLE mailing list.
