+ From: "Jordan K. Hubbard" <jkh@freebsd.org>
+ To: announce@FreeBSD.org
+ Subject: 4.3-RELEASE is now available

+ +

It gives me great pleasure to announce what is probably the +finest release produced from the 4.x-STABLE branch to date, +FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE. Following the release of FreeBSD 4.2 +in November, 2000, many bugs were fixed, important security issues +dealt with, and a reasonable number of new features added. +Please see the release notes for more information.

+ +

4.3-RELEASE is available for the +i386 +and +alpha +architectures and can be installed directly over the net using +the boot floppies or copied to a local NFS/ftp server.

+ +ISO (CD) Images
+---------------
+

We can't promise that all the mirror sites will carry the larger +ISO images, but they will at least be available from:

+ +

+ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.3-install.iso
and + +ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/ISO-IMAGES/4.3-install.iso

+ +

If you can't afford the CDs, are impatient, or just want to use it for +evangelism purposes, then by all means download the ISOs, otherwise please +do continue to support the FreeBSD project by purchasing one of its +official CD releases from BSDi. FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE can be ordered as a +4 CD set from The FreeBSD Mall +from where it will soon be shipping. Each CD sets contains the FreeBSD +installation and application package bits for either the x86 or the +alpha architecture (each architecture has its own CD set). For a set of +distfiles used to build ports in the ports collection, please see also the +FreeBSD Toolkit, a 6 CD set containing all such extra bits which we can no +longer fit on the 4 CD sets. You can also order by phone, postal mail, +FAX or email at:

Note: Despite the recent acquisition of BSDi's software assets +by Wind River, the above information still holds true for the forseeable +future and will not change for at least the life-cycle of the FreeBSD 4.3 +product. Any changes in the FreeBSD product sales infrastructure will be +announced if and as they occur.

+ +

FreeBSD is also available via anonymous FTP from mirror sites in the +following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bulgaria, +Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, +Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Latvia, +Malaysia, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Russia, +Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, Elbonia, the +Ukraine and the United Kingdom, among others.

+1. What's new since 4.2-RELEASE
+-------------------------------
+
+1.1. KERNEL CHANGES
+-------------------
+
+Write combining for crashdumps has been implemented.  This feature
+is useful when write caching is disabled on both SCSI and IDE disks,
+where large memory dumps could take up to an hour to complete.
+
+The pccard driver and pccardc(8) now support multiple "beep types"
+upon card insertion and removal.
+
+The twe(4) driver for 3Ware Escalade controllers has been updated.
+
+The an(4) driver for Cisco Aironet cards now supports Wired Equivalent
+Privacy (WEP) encryption, settable via ancontrol(8).
+
+The wi(4) and an(4) drivers now default to BSS (infrastructure) mode;
+previously the default was ad-hoc mode.
+
+The ray(4) driver, which supports the Webgear Aviator wireless network
+cards, has been committed.  The operation of ray(4) interfaces can be
+modified by raycontrol(8).
+
+Support for the Adaptec FSA family of PCI-SCSI RAID controllers has
+been added, in the form of the aac(4) driver.
+
+Linksys Fast Ethernet PCCARD cards supported by the ed(4) driver now
+require the addition of flag 0x80000 to their config line in
+pccard.conf(5).  This flag is not optional.  These Linksys cards will
+not be recognized without it.
+
+A bug in the ed(4) driver that could cause panics with very short
+packets and BPF or bridging active has been fixed.
+
+A bug in FFS that could cause superblock corruption on very large
+filesystems has been corrected.
+
+The ISO-9660 filesystem now has a hook that supports a loadable
+character conversion routine.  The sysutils/cd9660_unicode port
+contains a set of common conversions.
+
+A new NFS hash function (based on the Fowler/Noll/Vo hash algorithm)
+has been implemented to improve NFS performance by increasing the
+efficiency of the nfsnode hash tables.
+
+The cs(4) driver has been updated.
+
+bridge(4) and dummynet(4) have received some enhancements and bug fixes.
+
+The ahc(4) driver has been updated.  Among various improvements are
+improved compatibility with chips in "RAID Port" mode and systems with
+AAA and ARO cards installed, as well as performance improvements.
+Some bugs were also fixed, including a rare hang on Ultra2/U160
+controllers.
+
+The cd(4) driver now has support for write operations.  This allows
+writing to DVD-RAM, PD and similar drives that probe as CD devices.
+Note that this change affects only random-access writeable devices, not
+sequential-only writeable devices such as CD-R drives, which are
+supported by cdrecord(1).
+
+The "make buildkernel" procedure has changed slightly.  It now gets
+the name of the configuration(s) to build from the KERNCONF variable
+(KERNEL is still valid, but deprecated).  The installed kernel name
+can be changed with the INSTKERNEL variable.  The NO_KERNELCLEAN
+variable prevents cleaning of the kernel build directory (which is now
+done via "make clean", rather than "config -r").
+
+kobj functionality has been merged from -CURRENT to better support
+sound drivers.
+
+Separate drivers for the SoundBlaster 8 and Soundblaster 16 now
+replace an older, unified driver.
+
+A driver for the ESS Maestro-3/Allegro has been added, however due to
+licensing restrictions, it cannot be compiled into the kernel.  To use
+this driver, add the following line to /boot/loader.conf:
+
+	maestro3_load="YES"
+
+The pcm(4) driver now supports the CMedia CMI8338/CMI8738 sound chips,
+as well as the CS4281 sound chip.
+
+When sound modules are built, one can now load all the drivers and
+infrastructure by "kldload snd".
+
+The isp(4) driver has been updated.
+
+ipfilter has been updated to 3.4.16.
+
+ipfw(8) has a new feature ("me") that allows for packet matching on
+interfaces with dynamically-changing IP addresses.
+
+TCP has received some bug fixes for its delayed ACK behavior.
+
+TCP now supports the NewReno modification to the TCP Fast Recovery
+algorithm.  This behavior can be controlled via the
+net.inet.tcp.newreno sysctl variable.
+
+TCP now uses a more aggressive timeout for initial SYN segments; this
+allows initial connection attempts to be dropped much faster.
+
+ICMP UNREACH_FILTER_PROHIB messages can now RST TCP connections in the
+SYN_SENT state if the correct sequence numbers are sent back, as
+controlled by the net.inet.tcp.icmp_may_rst sysctl.
+
+A new sysctl net.inet.ip.check_interface, which is off by default,
+causes IP to verify that an incoming packet arrives on an interface
+that has an address matching the packet's destination address.
+
+The ata(4) driver has been updated.
+
+To provide more flexible configuration, the various options for the
+ata(4) driver are now boot loader tunables, rather than kernel
+configure-time options.
+
+The ata(4) driver now supports ATA66 and ATA100 mode on Acer Alladin
+chipsets.
+
+kqueue(2) has been extended to the device layer, and has also received
+some bug fixes.
+
+Some signal-handling fixes for Linux have been added, which improves
+compatibility with signal-intensive programs running under Linux
+emulation.
+
+The ida disk driver now has crashdump support.
+
+The mly(4) driver has received some changes in queueing, concurrency
+improvements, and stability fixes.
+
+Several minor bugs have been fixed in the VLAN networking code.
+
+Vinum has received some bugfixes.
+
+Changes specific to Alpha architecture:
+
+   A bug in the machine-dependent code for the AlphaServer 1000 and 1000A
+   has been fixed; it had caused only EV4-equipped AS1000 and EV5-equipped
+   AS1000A systems to work.
+
+   The API UP1100 mainboard has been verified to work correctly.
+
+   The API CS20 1U high server has been verified to work correctly.
+
+   AlphaServer 2100A ("Lynx") support has been added.
+
+   The AlphaServer 4000 and 4100 refuse to boot from the FreeBSD install
+   floppy or install CDROM.  The workaround is to "dd" the 2.88MB floppy image
+   onto a hard disk and boot the installer from it. Once sysinstall(8) is
+   running, a normal installation can be performed. Similar problems have
+   been observed on the AlphaServer 1200 and 8400.
+
+   For AlphaServer 4100 adapter cards with PCI bridge chips might cause
+   trouble. In addition, the capability of booting from an adapter might be
+   influenced by the placement of the adapter card on a specific PCI hose.
+   Please use 'send-pr' to report any problems you might encounter in this area.
+
+
+1.2. SECURITY FIXES
+-------------------
+
+Some fixes were applied to the Kerberos IV implementation related to
+environment variables, a possible buffer overrun, and overwriting
+ticket files.
+
+telnet(1) now does a better job of sanitizing its environment.
+
+Several vulnerabilities in procfs(4) were fixed (see security advisory
+FreeBSD-SA-00:77).
+
+A bug in ipfw(8) and ipfw6(8) in which inbound TCP segments could
+incorrectly be treated as being part of an "established" connection
+has been fixed (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:08).
+
+A bug in crontab(8) that could allow users to read any file on the
+system in valid crontab(5) syntax has been fixed (see security
+advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:09).
+
+A vulnerability in inetd(8) that could allow read-access to the
+initial 16 bytes of wheel-accessible files has been fixed (see
+security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:11).
+
+A bug in periodic(8) that used insecure temporary files has been
+corrected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:12).
+
+To fix a remotely-exploitable buffer overflow, BIND has been updated
+to 8.2.3 (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:18).
+
+OpenSSH now has code to prevent (instead of just mitigating through
+connection limits) an attack that can lead to guessing the server key
+(not host key) by regenerating the server key when an RSA failure is
+detected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:24).
+
+A bug in ICMP that could cause an attacker to disrupt TCP and UDP
+"sessions" has been corrected.
+
+A bug in timed(8), which caused it to crash if sent certain malformed
+packets, has been corrected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:28).
+
+A bug in rwhod(8), which caused it to crash if sent certain malformed
+packets, has been corrected (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:29).
+
+A security hole in FreeBSD's FFS and EXT2FS implementations, which
+allowed a race condition that could cause users to have unauthorized
+access to data, has been fixed (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:30).
+
+A remotely-exploitable vulnerability in ntpd(8) has been closed (see
+security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:31).
+
+A security hole in IPFilter's fragment cache has been closed (see
+security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:32).
+
+Buffer overflows in glob(3), which could cause arbitrary code to be
+run on an FTP server, have been closed.  In addition, to prevent some
+forms of DOS attacks, glob(3) now allows specification of a limit on
+the number of pathname matches it will return.  ftpd(8) now uses this
+feature (see security advisory FreeBSD-SA-01:33).
+
+Initial sequence numbers in TCP are more thoroughly randomized, using
+an algorithm obtained from OpenBSD.
+
+A number of programs have had output formatting strings corrected so
+as to reduce the risk of vulnerabilities.
+
+A number of programs that use temporary files now do so more securely.
+
+
+1.3. USERLAND CHANGES
+---------------------
+
+newfs(1) now implements write combining, which can make creation of
+new filesystems up to seven times faster.
+
+A number of buffer overflows in config(8) have been fixed.
+
+Binutils have been upgraded to 2.10.1.
+
+OpenSSL has been upgraded to 0.9.6.
+
+OpenSSL now has support for machine-dependent ASM optimizations,
+activated by the new CPUTYPE/MACHINE_CPU Makefile variables.
+
+file(1) has been contribify-ed, and imported as version 3.33.
+
+groff(1) and its related utilities have been updated to FSF version
+1.16.1.
+
+indent(1) has gained some new formatting options.
+
+sysinstall(8) now uses some more intuitive defaults thanks to some new
+dialog support functions.
+
+sysinstall(8) now properly preserves /etc/mail during a binary
+upgrade.
+
+The default root partition in sysinstall(8) is now 100MB.
+
+libdisk can now do install-time configuration of the i386 boot0 boot
+loader.
+
+rm(1) -v now displays the entire pathname of a file being
+removed.
+
+lpr(1), lpq(1), and lpd(8) have received a few minor enhancements.
+
+OpenSSH has been upgraded to 2.3.0.  This version adds support for the
+Rijndael encryption algorithm.
+
+Kerberos compatability has been added to OpenSSH.
+
+OpenSSH has been modified to be more resistant to traffic analysis by
+requiring that "non-echoed" characters are still echoed back in a null
+packet, as well as by padding passwords sent so as not to hint at
+password lengths.
+
+syslogd(8) now supports a "LOG_CONSOLE" facility (disabled by
+default), which can be used to log /dev/console output.
+
+cdcontrol(1) now uses the CDROM environment variable to pick a default
+device.
+
+All packages and ports now contain an "origin" directive, which makes
+it easier for programs like pkg_version(1) to determine the directory
+from which a package was built.
+
+pkg_info(1) can now accept a -g flag for verifying an installed
+package against its recorded checksums (to see if it's been modified
+post-installation).  Naturally, this mechanism is only as secure as
+the contents of /var/db/pkg if it's to be used for auditing
+purposes.
+
+pkg_create(1) and pkg_add(1) can now work with packages that have
+been compressed using bzip2(1).  pkg_add(1) will use the
+PACKAGEROOT environment variable to determine a mirror site for new
+packages.
+
+pkg_info(1) now supports globbing against names of installed packages.
+The -G option disables this behavior, and the -x option causes regular
+expression matching instead of shell globbing.
+
+pkg_sign(1) and pkg_check(1) have been added to digitally sign and
+verify the signatures on binary package files.
+
+pkg_update(1), a utility to update installed packages and update their
+dependencies, has been added.
+
+pkg_delete(1) now can perform glob/regexp matching of package names.
+In addition, it supports the -a option for removing all packages and
+the -i option for rm(1)-style interactive confirmation.
+
+pkg_create(1) now records dependencies in dependency order rather than
+in the order specified on the command line.  This improves the
+functioning of "pkg_add -r".
+
+pkg_version(1) now has a version number comparison routine that
+corresponds to the Porters Handbook.  It also has a -t option for
+testing address comparisons.
+
+awk has been upgraded from gawk-3.0.4 to gawk-3.0.6.  This fixes a number
+of non-critical bugs and includes a few performance tweaks.
+
+Shortly after the receipt of a SIGINFO signal (normally control-T from
+the controlling tty), fsck(8) will now output a line indicating the
+current phase number and progress information relevant to the current
+phase.
+
+pwd(1) can now double as realpath(1), a program to resolve pathnames
+to their underlying physical paths.
+
+gcc(1) has been updated to 2.95.3.
+
+gcc(1) now uses a unified libgcc rather than a separate one for threaded
+and non-threaded programs.  /usr/lib/libgcc_r.a can be removed.
+
+config(8) is now better about converting various warnings that should
+have been errors into actual fatal errors with an exit code.  This
+ensures that that "make buildkernel" doesn't quietly ignore them and
+build a bogus kernel without a human to read the errors.
+
+In /etc/ssh/sshd_config, the ConnectionsPerPeriod parameter has been
+deprecated in favor of MaxStartups.
+
+find(1) now takes the -empty flag, which returns true if a file or
+directory is empty.
+
+find(1) now takes the -iname and -ipath primaries for case-insensitive
+matches, and the -regexp and -iregexp primaries for regular-expression
+matches.  The -E flag now enables extended regular expressions.
+
+ldconfig(8) now checks directory ownerships and permissions for
+greater security; these checks can be disabled with the -i
+flag.
+
+sendmail(8) and associated utilities upgraded from version 8.11.1 to
+version 8.11.3.  See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/RELEASE_NOTES for more
+information.
+
+New make.conf options: SENDMAIL_MC and SENDMAIL_ADDITIONAL_MC.  See
+/etc/defaults/make.conf for more information.
+
+The Makefile in /etc/mail now supports: the new SENDMAIL_MC make.conf
+option; the ability to build .cf files from .mc files; generalized map
+rebuilding; rebuilding the aliases file; and the ability to stop, start,
+and restart sendmail.
+
+vidcontrol(1) now accepts a -g parameter to select custom text
+geometry in the VESA_800x600 raster text mode.
+
+The rfork_thread(3) library call has been added as a helper function
+to rfork(2).  Using this function should avoid the need to implement
+complex stack swap code.
+
+The compat3x distribution has been updated to include libraries
+present in FreeBSD 3.5.1-RELEASE.
+
+gperf has been updated to 2.7.2.
+
+Catching up with most other network utilities in the base system,
+lpr(1), lpd(8), syslogd(8), and logger(1) are now all IPv6-capable.
+
+When requested to delete multiple packages, pkg_delete(1) will now
+attempt to remove them in dependency order rather than the order
+specified on the command line.
+
+burncd(8) now supports a -m option for multisession mode (the default
+behavior now is to close disks as single-session).  A -l option to
+take a list of image files from a filename was also added; "-" can be
+used as a filename for stdin.
+
+tar(1) now supports the TAR_RSH variable, principally to enable the
+use of ssh(1) as a transport.
+
+Bugs in make(1), among which include broken null suffix behavior, bad
+assumptions about current directory permissions, and potential buffer
+overflows, have been fixed.
+
+The new CPUTYPE make.conf variable controls the compilation of
+processor-specific optimizations in various pieces of code such as
+OpenSSL.
+
+Boot-time syscons configuration was moved to a machine-independent
+rc.syscons.
+
+login(1) now exports environment variables set by PAM modules.
+
+ipfstat(8) now supports the -t option to turn on a top(1)-like
+display.
+
+tftpd(8) now takes the -c and -C options, which allow the server to
+chroot(2) based on the IP address of the connecting client.  tftp(1)
+and tftpd(8) can now transfer files larger than 65535 blocks.
+
+The lastlogin(1) utility, which prints the last login time of each
+user, has been imported from NetBSD.
+
+/usr/src/share/examples/BSD_daemon/ now contains a scalable Beastie
+graphic.
+
+bc has been updated from 1.04 to 1.06.
+
+savecore(8) now supports a -k option to prevent clearing a crash dump
+after saving it.  It also attempts to avoid writing large stretches of
+zeros to crash dump files to save space and time.
+
+tcsh has been updated to version 6.10.
+
+The default value for the CVS_RSH variable (used by cvs(1)) is now
+ssh, rather than rsh.
+
+disklabel(8) now supports partition sizes expressed in kilobytes,
+megabytes, or gigabytes, in addition to sectors.
+
+Kerberos IV has been updated to 1.0.5.
+
+Heimdal has been updated to 0.3e.
+
+dump(8) now supports inheritance of the "nodump" flag down a
+hierarchy.
+
+The ISC DHCP client has been updated to 2.0pl5.
+
+stty(1) now has support for an "erase2" control character, so that
+both "delete" and "backspace" can be used to erase characters.
+
+split(1) now has the ability to split a file longer than 2GB.
+
+units(1) has received some updates and bugfixes.
+
+netstat(1) now keeps track of input and output packets on a
+per-address basis for each interface.
+
+netstat(1) now has a -W flag that tells it not to truncate addresses,
+even if they're too long for the column they're printed in.
+
+sockstat(1) now has -c and -l flags for listing connected and
+listening sockets, respectively.
+
+Many manual pages were improved, both in terms of their formatting
+markup and in their content.
+
+"lprm -" now works for remote printer queues.
+
+mergemaster(8) now sources an /etc/mergemaster.rc file and also
+prompts the user to run recommended commands (such as "newaliases") as
+needed.
+
+ftpd(8) now supports a -r flag for read-only mode and a -E flag to
+disable EPSV.  It also has some fixes to reduce information leakage
+and the ability to specify compile-time port ranges.
+
+rc(8) now has an framework for handling dependencies between
+rc.conf(5) variables.
+
+The default TCP port range used by libfetch for passive FTP retrievals
+has changed; this affects the behavior of fetch(1), which has gained the
+-U option to restore the old behavior.
+
+portmap(8) now takes a -h option to indicate the IP addresses to which
+it should bind.  This option may be specified multiple times and is
+typically necessary for multi-homed hosts.
+
+GNATS has been updated to 3.113.
+

+3. Obtaining FreeBSD
+--------------------
+
+You may obtain FreeBSD in a variety of ways:
+
+
+3.1. FTP/Mail
+-------------
+
+You can ftp FreeBSD and any or all of its optional packages from
+`ftp.freebsd.org' - the official FreeBSD release site.
+
+For other locations that mirror the FreeBSD software see the file
+MIRROR.SITES.  Please ftp the distribution from the site closest (in
+networking terms) to you.  Additional mirror sites are always welcome!
+Contact freebsd-admin@FreeBSD.org for more details if you'd like to
+become an official mirror site.
+
+If you do not have access to the Internet and electronic mail is your
+only recourse, then you may still fetch the files by sending mail to
+`ftpmail@ftpmail.vix.com' - putting the keyword "help" in your message
+to get more information on how to fetch files using this mechanism.
+Please do note, however, that this will end up sending many *tens of
+megabytes* through the mail and should only be employed as an absolute
+LAST resort!
+
+
+3.2. CDROM
+----------
+
+FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE CDs may be ordered on CDROM from:
+
+        BSDi / Walnut Creek CDROM
+        4041 Pike Lane, Suite D
+        Concord CA  94520
+        USA
+        +1-800-786-9907, +1-925-674-0783, +1-925-674-0821 (FAX)
+
+Or via the Internet from orders@cdrom.com or http://www.cdrom.com.
+Their current catalog can be obtained via ftp from:
+
+        ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/cdrom/catalog
+
+Cost per -RELEASE CD is $39.95 or $24.95 with a FreeBSD subscription.
+FreeBSD SNAPshot CDs, when available, are $39.95 or $14.95 with a
+FreeBSD-SNAP subscription (-RELEASE and -SNAP subscriptions are entirely
+separate).  With a subscription, you will automatically receive updates as
+they are released.  Your credit card will be billed when each disk is
+shipped and you may cancel your subscription at any time without further
+obligation.
+
+Shipping (per order not per disc) is $5 in the US, Canada or Mexico
+and $9.00 overseas.  They accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American
+Express or checks in U.S. Dollars and ship COD within the United
+States.  California residents please add 8.25% sales tax.
+
+Should you be dissatisfied for any reason, the CD comes with an
+unconditional return policy.
+
+
+4. Upgrading from previous releases of FreeBSD
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
+it's 3.0 and there may be some issues affecting you, depending
+of course on your chosen method of upgrading.  There are two popular
+ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
+
+        o Using sources, via /usr/src
+        o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
+
+Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information, preferably
+before beginning an upgrade.
+
+
+5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+Your suggestions, bug reports and contributions of code are always
+valued - please do not hesitate to report any problems you may find
+(preferably with a fix attached, if you can!).
+
+The preferred method to submit bug reports from a machine with
+Internet mail connectivity is to use the send-pr command or use the CGI
+script at http://www.freebsd.org/send-pr.html.  Bug reports
+will be dutifully filed by our faithful bugfiler program and you can
+be sure that we'll do our best to respond to all reported bugs as soon
+as possible.  Bugs filed in this way are also visible on our WEB site
+in the support section and are therefore valuable both as bug reports
+and as "signposts" for other users concerning potential problems to
+watch out for.
+
+If, for some reason, you are unable to use the send-pr command to
+submit a bug report, you can try to send it to:
+
+                freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
+
+Note that send-pr itself is a shell script that should be easy to move
+even onto a totally different system.  We much prefer if you could use
+this interface, since it make it easier to keep track of the problem
+reports.  However, before submitting, please try to make sure whether
+the problem might have already been fixed since.
+
+
+Otherwise, for any questions or tech support issues, please send mail to:
+
+                freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+If you're tracking the -stable development efforts, you should
+definitely join the -stable mailing list, in order to keep abreast
+of recent developments and changes that may affect the way you
+use and maintain the system:
+
+		freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Additionally, being a volunteer effort, we are always happy to have
+extra hands willing to help - there are already far more desired
+enhancements than we'll ever be able to manage by ourselves!  To
+contact us on technical matters, or with offers of help, please send
+mail to:
+
+                freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+Please note that these mailing lists can experience *significant*
+amounts of traffic and if you have slow or expensive mail access and
+are only interested in keeping up with significant FreeBSD events, you
+may find it preferable to subscribe instead to:
+
+                freebsd-announce@FreeBSD.org
+
+
+All of the mailing lists can be freely joined by anyone wishing
+to do so.  Send mail to MajorDomo@FreeBSD.org and include the keyword
+`help' on a line by itself somewhere in the body of the message.  This
+will give you more information on joining the various lists, accessing
+archives, etc.  There are a number of mailing lists targeted at
+special interest groups not mentioned here, so send mail to majordomo
+and ask about them!
+
+
