An overview of problems in FreeBSD 14.0 |
|
The latest version of FreeBSD was announced about a week after FreeBSD 14.0 was expected to be officially released. Despite this extended delay, there have been a number of issues which have surfaced, following the install media being made available to the public. Colin Percival has provided an overview of problems with the 14.0 release, along with explanations for why the problems exist and how to work around them. A few of the issues concern upgrading FreeBSD from an earlier release: "The default shell for root changed from csh to sh in FreeBSD 14. When you upgrade to FreeBSD 14, freebsd-update will prompt you to merge changes to /etc/master.passwd. Don't just take the new password line for root since it doesn't have a password. Keep your existing line and change the shell (or not, if you prefer to stick with csh)." |
