A couple problems made it into slackware-7.1-stable. Here's what they are,
and how to fix them:
-------
Tue Jun 27 11:14:25 PDT 2000
Problem: Extra install.end file in slakware/a15/ causes zoneinfo.tgz to be skipped.
Workaround: Install slakware/a16/zoneinfo.tgz with installpkg. With the CD
mounted on /cdrom, you would use this command:
installpkg /cdrom/slakware/a16/zoneinfo.tgz
Then, run 'timeconfig' to select your timezone.

Problem: util.tgz sets permissions on /var/lock which are too restrictive, so that
normal users cannot make a lockfile. This may present a problem for users
who are authorized to dial out through a modem.
Workaround: As root, run this command:
chmod 1777 /var/lock

Problem: A remote exploit has been found in the FTP daemon, wu-ftpd. This can
allow an attacker full access to your machine.
Workaround: Install a patched version of wu-ftpd. One has been prepared in the
patches/ directory. To install it, make sure nobody is accessing FTP
on your machine (consider bringing it down to non-networking single
user mode with 'telinit 1') and then install the patch:
installpkg wu-ftpd-patch.tgz
