in how ftp transfers were done, make sure all output goes to /dev/ttyv1
for debugging, add in the parallel-IP support so Poul will stop
squeaking (for the moment, anyway).
Increase the amount of space available to the ethernet setup dialog
Put in a last parting-shot dialog telling you to run tzsetup, and promising
to do this for you later.
Adjust flags to ifconfig - they were bogus.
Here is the improved probe for the mse (Bus Mouse) device driver. I
have been running with this under 1.1.5.1 as well as 2.0 without a hitch for
quite a while.

1. Don't use kernel name for headers - I'm running 2.0.1-Development,
not ALPHA, and this messes things up.
2. The last dialog was too big, make it a little smaller. Just cosmetic,
while I'm in here.
This effectively changes the non-DES password algoritm.
If you have the "securedist" installed you will have no problems with this.
(Though you might want to consider using this password-encryption instead
of the DES-based if your system is likely to be hacked)
If you are running a -current system without the "securedist" installed:
YOU WILL NEED TO CHANGE ALL PASSWORDS !! There is no backwards mode.
Suggested procedure is:
Update your sources
cd /usr/src/lib/libcrypt
make clean
make all
make install
passwd root
<set roots new password>
change password for any other users on the system.
This algorithm is expected to be much better than the traditional DES-
based algorithm. It uses the MD5 algorithm at what it is best at, as
opposed to the DES algorithm at something it isn't good at at all. The
algorithm is designed such that it should very hard to shortcut the
calculations needed to build a dictionary, and to make partial knowledge
(Hmm, his password starts with a 'P'...) useless. Of course if somebody
breaks the MD5 algorithm this looses too.
The salt is 48 bits (8 char @ base64).
The encrypted password is 128 bits.
And I am positively delighted to say that it takes 34 msec to crypt() a
password on a Pentium/60Mhz, so building a dictionary is not really an
option for hackers at the moment.
device announcement; assume a sector size of 512 instead (likely to be
right at all).
This case happens when booting with a removable disk device attached
(e.g. an MOD), but no medium inserted.
I think it's time for Ugen to get a freefall account, just so I can
direct mail at him directly and let him drop off patches for us here. Ugen?
Done!
