.Ss "What is NetBSD?"
.Pp
.
The
.Nx
Operating System is a fully functional
.Tn Open Source
.Ul
operating system derived from the University of California, Berkeley
Networking Release 2 (Net/2), 4.4BSD-Lite, and 4.4BSD-Lite2 sources.
.Nx
runs on thirty-one different system architectures featuring twelve distinct
families of CPUs, and is being ported to more. The
.Nx \*V
release contains complete binary releases for fifteen different
machine types. (The sixteen remaining are not fully supported at this time
and are thus not part of the binary distribution. For information on
them, please see the
.Nx
web site at
.Lk http://www.netbsd.org/ . )
.Pp
.Nx
is a completely integrated system.
In addition to its highly portable, high performance kernel,
.nh
.Nx
features a complete set of user utilities, compilers for several
languages, the X Window System, firewall software
and numerous other tools, all accompanied by full source code.
.Pp
.\" XXX Should we include some text here about NetBSD's license
.\" policies and how commercial-friendly it is?
.Nx
is a creation of the members of the Internet community.
Without the unique cooperation and coordination the net makes
possible, it's likely that
.Nx
wouldn't exist.

.Ss Changes Since The NetBSD 1.4 Release
.Pp
The
.Nx \*V
release 
provides numerous significant functional enhancements, including
support for many new devices, integration of hundreds of bug fixes,
new and updated kernel subsystems, and many userland enhancements. The
result of these improvements is a stable operating system fit for
production use that rivals most commercially available systems.
.Pp
It is impossible to completely summarize over one year of
development that went into the
.Nx \*V
release. Some highlights include:
.
.Ss2 Kernel
.
.(bullet
Ports to new platforms including:
arc,
cobalt,
hpcmips,
news68k,
sgimips,
and
sparc64.
.It
Improved performance and stability of the UVM virtual memory subsystem.
.It
Implementation of generic kernel locking code, as well as a
restructure and re-tuning of the scheduler, to be used by the
future symmetric multi-processing (SMP) implementation.
.It
Improved compatibility support for Linux, OSF1, and SVR4 programs.
.It
New compatibility support for Win32 programs.
.It
Support for dynamically loaded ELF kernel modules.
.It
Kernel process tracing using
.Xr ktruss 1 .
.It
Deletion of swap devices using
.Xr swapctl 8 .
.It
Easier hot-pluggability of keyboards and mice using a new wscons
device\(emwsmux.
.It
Improved PCMCIA and Cardbus support, including support for detaching
of devices and cards, resulting in better support for notebooks and
PDA devices.
.It
Numerous hardware improvements, including areas such as:
audio, UDMA/66 support for ATA drives, USB, and wireless networking.
.bullet)
.
.Ss2 Networking
.
.(bullet
Addition of IP version 6 (IPv6) and IPsec to the networking stack,
from the KAME project.
This includes addition of kernel code for IPv6/IPsec,
IPv4/v6 dual-stack user applications and supporting libraries.
Due to this, the shlib major version for
.Xr pcap 3
is incremented and you may need to recompile userland tools.
The KAME IPv6 part includes results from the unified-ipv6 effort.
.bullet)
.
.Ss2 File system
.
.(bullet
Significant Fast file system (FFS) performance enhancements via
integration of Kirk McKusick's soft updates and trickle sync code.
.It
Support for the 
.Tn "Windows NT"
.Sq NTFS
file system (read-only at this stage).
.It
Support for revision 1 of the
.Tn Linux
.Sq ext2fs
file system.
.It
Enhanced stability and usability of LFS (the
.Bx
log-structured file system).
.It
Various RAIDframe enhancements including: auto-detection of RAID components
and auto-configuration of RAID sets, and the ability to configure the root
file system
.Pq Pa /
on a RAID set.
.It
Support for
.Tn Microsoft
Joliet extensions to the ISO9660 CD file system.
.It
Improved file system vnode locking mechanisms,
thus resolving a source of several panics in the past.
.It
Support for NFS and RPC over IPv6.
.It
The server part of NFS locking (implemented by
.Xr rpc.lockd 8 )
now works.
.bullet)
.
.Ss2 Security
.
.(bullet
Strong cryptographic libraries and applications integrated,
including the AES cipher Rijndael, the OpenSSL library, more
complete Kerberos IV and Kerberos V support, and an SSH server
and client.
.It
.Xr sysctl 3
interfaces to various elements of process and system information,
allowing programs such as
.Xr ps 1 ,
.Xr dmesg 1
and the like to operate without recompilation after kernel upgrades,
and remove the necessity to run setgid kmem (thus improving system
security).
.It
Disable various services by default, and set the default options for
disabled daemons to a higher level of logging.
.It 
Several code audits were performed. One audit replaced string routines
that were used without bounds checking, and another one identified and
disabled places where format strings were used in unsafe ways,
allowing arbitrary data to be entered by (possibly) malicious users to
overwrite application code, and leading from Denial of Service attacks
to compromised systems.
.It
.Xr sshd 8
and
.Xr ssh 1
now require
.Xr rnd 4
kernel random number devices.
.bullet)
.
.Ss2 System administration and user tools
.
.(bullet
Conversion of the
.Xr rc 8
system startup and shutdown scripts to an
.Sq rc.d
mechanism, with separate control scripts for each service, and
appropriate dependency ordering provided by
.Xr rcorder 8 .
.It
.Xr postfix 1
provided as alternative mail transport agent to
.Xr sendmail 8 .
.It
User management tools
.Xr useradd 8 ,
.Xr usermod 8 ,
.Xr userdel 8 ,
.Xr groupadd 8 ,
.Xr groupmod 8 ,
and
.Xr groupdel 8
added to the system.
.It
Incorporation of a login class capability database
.Pq Pa /etc/login.conf
from
.Tn BSD/OS .
.It
Improved support for usernames longer than eight characters in programs
such as
.Xr at 1
and
.Xr w 1 .
.It
Many enhancements to
.Xr ftpd 8
providing features found in larger and less secure FTP daemons,
such as user classes, connection limits, improved support for
virtual hosting, transfer statistics, transfer rate throttling,
and support for various IETF ftpext working group extensions.
.It
The
.Xr ftp 1
client has been improved even further, including
transfer rate throttling, improved URL support, command line uploads.
See the man page for details.
.bullet)
.
.Ss2 Miscellaneous
.
.(bullet
Updates to the
.Nx
source code style code (located in
.Pa /usr/share/misc/style )
to use ANSI C only (instead of K&R) and reflect current (best) practice,
and begin migrating the
.Nx
source code to follow it.
.It
Implementation of many SUSv2 features to the
.Xr curses 3
library, including support for color.
.It
Updates of most third party packages that are shipped in the base
system, including
.Xr file 1 ,
.Xr ipfilter 4 ,
.Xr ppp 4 ,
and
.Xr sendmail 8
to the latest stable release.
.It
Many new packages in the
.Em pkgsrc
system, including standard desktops like KDE and GNOME as well as latest
Tcl/Tk and perl and many of the components of the Java Enterprise platform.
The package framework itself now has full wildcard dependency support.
.bullet)
.Pp
As has been noted, there have also been innumerable bug fixes.
.Pp
Kernel interfaces have continued to be refined, and more subsystems
and device drivers are shared among the different ports. You can look
for this trend to continue.

.Ss "The Future of NetBSD"
.Pp
.
The
.Nx
Foundation has been incorporated as a non-profit
organization. Its purpose is to encourage, foster and promote the
free exchange of computer software, namely the
.Nx
Operating
System. The foundation will allow for many things to be handled more
smoothly than could be done with our previous informal organization.
In particular, it provides the framework to deal with other parties
that wish to become involved in the
.Nx
Project.
.Pp
The
.Nx
Foundation will help improve the quality of
.Nx
by:
.(bullet
providing better organization to keep track of development
efforts, including co-ordination with groups working in
related fields.
.It
providing a framework to receive donations of goods and
services and to own the resources necessary to run the
.Nx
Project.
.It
providing a better position from which to undertake
promotional activities.
.It
periodically organizing workshops for developers and other
interested people to discuss ongoing work.
.bullet)
.Pp
We intend to begin narrowing the time delay between releases. Our
ambition is to provide a full release every six to eight months.
.Pp
We hope to support even
.Em more
hardware in the future, and we have a
rather large number of other ideas about what can be done to improve
.Nx .
.Pp
We intend to continue our current practice of making the
NetBSD-current development source available on a daily basis.
.Pp
We intend to integrate free, positive changes from whatever sources
submit them, providing that they are well thought-out and increase the
usability of the system.
.Pp
Above all, we hope to create a stable and accessible system, and to be
responsive to the needs and desires of
.Nx
users, because it is for
and because of them that
.Nx
exists.

.Pp
In addition to the files and directories listed above, there is one
directory per architecture, for each of the architectures for which
.Nx \*V
has a binary distribution.
There are also
.Pa README.export-control
files sprinkled liberally throughout the
distribution tree, which point out that there are some portions of the
distribution that may be subject to
export regulations of the United States, e.g.
code under
.Pa src/crypto
and
.Pa src/sys/crypto . 
It is your responsibility
to determine whether or not it is legal for you to export these portions
and to act accordingly.
.Pp
The source distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the
.Pa source
subdirectory of the distribution tree. They contain the
complete sources to the system. The source distribution sets
are as follows:
.(tag sharesrc
.It Sy gnusrc
This set contains the

.Pp
All the above source sets are located in the
.Pa source/sets
subdirectory of the distribution tree.
.Pp
The source sets are distributed as compressed tar files. They may be
unpacked into
.Pa /usr/src
with the command:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "( cd / ; tar -zxpf - ) < set_name.tgz"
.Pp
The
.Pa sets/Split/
subdirectory contains split
versions of the source sets for those users who need to load the
source sets from floppy or otherwise need a split distribution. The
split sets are named
.Pa "set_name." Ns Ar xx
where
.Pa set_name
is the distribution set name, and
.Ar xx
is the sequence number of the file,
starting with
.Dq aa
for the first file in the distribution set, then
.Dq ab
for the next, and so on. All of these files except the last one
of each set should be exactly 240,640 bytes long. (The last file is
just long enough to contain the remainder of the data for that
distribution set.)
.Pp
The split distributions may be reassembled and extracted with
.Ic cat
as follows:
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "cat set_name.?? | ( cd / ; tar -zxpf - )"
.Pp
In each of the source distribution set directories, there are
files which contain the checksums of the files in the directory:
.(tag SYSVSUM -offset indent
.It Li BSDSUM
Historic

checksums for the various files
in that directory, in the format produced by the command:
.Ic cksum -o 1 Ar file .

.Pp
.
Users upgrading from previous versions of
.Nx
may wish to bear the
following problems and compatibility issues in mind when upgrading to
.Nx \*V .
.Ss2 General issues
.(bullet
.Pa /etc/rc
modified to use
.Pa /etc/rc.d/*
.Pp
Prior to 
.Nx 1.5 ,
.Pa /etc/rc
was a traditional
.Bx
style monolithic file; each discrete program or substem from
.Pa /etc/rc
and
.Pa /etc/netstart
has been moved into separate scripts in
.Pa /etc/rc.d/ .
.Pp
At system startup,
.Pa /etc/rc
uses
.Xr rcorder 8
to build a dependency list of the files in
.Pa /etc/rc.d
and then executes each script in turn with an argument of
.Sq start .
Many
.Pa rc.d
scripts won't start unless the appropriate
.Xr rc.conf 5
entry in
.Pa /etc/rc.conf
is set to
.Sq YES.
.Pp
At system shutdown,
.Pa /etc/rc.shutdown
uses
.Xr rcorder 8
to build a dependency list of the files in
.Pa /etc/rc.d
that have a
.Dq "KEYWORD: shutdown"
line, reverses the resulting list, and then executes each script in turn
with an argument of
.Sq stop .
The following scripts support a specific shutdown method:
.Pa cron ,
.Pa inetd ,
.Pa local ,
and
.Pa xdm .
.Pp
Local and third-party scripts may be installed into
.Pa /etc/rc.d
as necessary.
Refer to the other scripts in that directory and
.Xr rc 8
for more information on implementing
.Pa rc.d
scripts.
.bullet)
.Ss2 Issues affecting an upgrading from NetBSD 1.4 or prior
.(bullet
.Xr named 8
leaks version information
.
.Pp
Previous releases of
.Nx
disabled a feature of
.Xr named 8
where the version number of the server could be determined by remote clients.
This feature has not been disabled in
.Nx 1.5 ,
because there is a
.Xr named.conf 5
option to change the version string:
.(disp
option {
	version "newstring";
};
.disp)
.
.It
.Xr sysctl 8
pathname changed
.
.Pp
.Xr sysctl 8
is moved from
.Pa /usr/sbin/sysctl
to
.Pa /sbin/sysctl .
If you have hardcoded references to the full pathname
.Pq in shell scripts, for example
please be sure to update those.
.\"
.It
.Xr sendmail 8
configuration file pathname changed
.
.Pp
Due to
.Xr sendmail 8
upgrade from 8.9.x to 8.10.x,
.Pa /etc/sendmail.cf
is moved to
.Pa /etc/mail/sendmail.cf .
Also, the default
.Xr sendmail.cf 5
refers different pathnames than before.
For example,
.Pa /etc/aliases
is now located at
.Pa /etc/mail/aliases ,
.Pa /etc/sendmail.cw
is now called
.Pa /etc/mail/local-host-names ,
and so forth.
If you have customized
.Xr sendmail.cf 5
and friends, you will need to move the files to the new locations.
See
.Pa /usr/share/sendmail/README
for more information.

.Pp
.
.
.Ss "Using online NetBSD documentation"
.Pp
Documentation is available if you first install the manual
distribution set. Traditionally, the
.Dq man pages
(documentation) are denoted by
.Sq Li name(section) .
Some examples of this are
.Pp
.(bullet -compact -offset indent
.Xr intro 1 ,
.It
.Xr man 1 ,
.It
.Xr apropros 1 ,
.It
.Xr passwd 1 ,
and
.It
.Xr passwd 5 .
.bullet)
.Pp
The section numbers group the topics into several categories, but three
are of primary interest: user commands are in section 1, file formats
are in section 5, and administrative information is in section 8.
.Pp
.No The Em man
command is used to view the documentation on a topic, and is
started by entering
.Ic man Op Ar section
.Ar topic .
The brackets
.Op \&
around the
section should not be entered, but rather indicate that the section is
optional. If you don't ask for a particular section, the topic with the
lowest numbered section name will be displayed. For instance, after
logging in, enter
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "man passwd"
.Pp
to read the documentation for
.Xr passwd 1 .
To view the documentation for
.Xr passwd 5 ,
enter
.Pp
.Dl # Ic "man 5 passwd"
.Pp
instead.
.Pp
If you are unsure of what man page you are looking for, enter
.Ic apropos Ar subject-word
.Pp
where
.Ar subject-word
is your topic of interest; a list of possibly
related man pages will be displayed.

which runs the CVSweb interface to the
.Nx
source tree.

The many organisations that provide
.Nx
mirror sites.

Without CVS, this project would be impossible to manage, so our hats
go off to Brian Berliner, Jeff Polk, and the various other people
who've had a hand in making CVS a useful tool.

Dave Burgess
.Mt burgess@cynjut.infonet.net
has been maintaining the
386BSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD FAQ for quite some time, and deserves to be
recognized for it.
.It
The following individuals and organizations (each in alphabetical order)
have made donations or loans of hardware and/or money, to support
.Nx
development, and deserve credit for it:
.so ../common/donations -----------------------------------------------
(If you're not on that list and should be, tell us! We probably were
not able to get in touch with you, to verify that you wanted to be
listed.)
.It
Finally, we thank all of the people who've put sweat and tears into
developing
.Nx
since its inception in January, 1993. (Obviously,
there are a lot more people who deserve thanks here. If you're one of
them, and would like to mentioned, tell us!)
