As of pre2.0.6 (aka 1.99.6), mixed-style file locking is no longer
allowed. For example, a file cannot be simultaneously locked with
-`flock' (BSD-style) and `lockf' (SYSV-style). Among the programs this
-has impacted are older sendmails. If you get a message that sendmail
-cannot lock aliases.dir (or other files), you'll need to upgrade to at
-least 8.7.x. The latest sendmail is at
-ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/src/sendmail/sendmail.8.7.5.tar.gz.

device addresses, so that only packets coming in/going out via that

IP Firewalls
============
The IP firewall code has been changed drastically during 1.3.x.
There are now 3 categories of firewall rules: one for incoming packets,
-one for outgoing packets, and one for packets being forwarded.
-
- There also exists a possibility to match on device names and/or
-device addresses, so that only packets coming in/going out via that
-device (network interface) match with a rule. This is especially
-useful to prevent spoofing.

IP Masquerading
===============
- IP masquerading is now part of the standard kernel. Note that you
-always need to load separate modules (ip_masq_ftp.o and/or ip_masq_irc.o)
-if you are going to use FTP or IRC in combination with masquerading.
-Use "make modules" to generated them.

+ftp://ftp.xos.nl/pub/linux/ipfwadm/ipfwadm-2.1.tar.gz to use this.
+
+ISDN support
+============
+
+ The new kernels support ISDN. You'll need ISDN utils available from
+ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/isdn4linux/isdn4k-utils-1.3.97.tar.gz to try
+this.
+
+Term is broken
+==============
- You'll need to get ipfwadm from ftp://ftp.xos.nl/pub/linux/ipfwadm.
-Use ipfwadm-2.1.tar.gz if your kernel is 1.3.66 or later.
+ Term (a comm line multiplexer similar in purpose to slirp) does not
+work with kernels later than 1.3.60. Since the author of term is
+apparently currently on vacation, there is no fix forthcoming. I
+suggest that those of you who rely on term learn to use slirp.
Networking
==========
In the future, fdformat might disappear entirely, so get used to
using superformat instead.
-Please send info about any other packages that 1.3.x "broke" or about
-any new features of 1.3.x that require extra or new packages for use to
-Chris Ricker (gt1355b@prism.gatech.edu). I generate this from a
-modified texinfo setup, so you don't need to bother generating a diff
-against the current version before you send the additional information
-to me.
-
-nfsd daemon doesn't work anymore
-================================
- The Red Hat distributions 2.x, 3.x and Caldera 1.0 have a bug where
-they do "route add -net 127.0.0.1" at startup. That is wrong. The
-correct command is "route add -net 127.0.0.0".
-
-Workaround: Change in "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-lo" the
-"route add -net ${IPADDR}" into "route add -net 127.0.0.0".
