+
+User authentication is PAM-based now; in short, Slackware ships PAM.
+ The out-of-the-box configuration should be exactly what you expect
+ from Slackware. Enjoy.
+
+The stock networking scripts now use iproute2 instead of net-tools and
+ bridge-utils and friends. All of the previous functionality is still
+ supported with the same config file syntax in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf,
+ but added functionality includes support for creating virtual interfaces
+ (e.g. tun/tap) and adding them to bridges as well as binding additional
+ IP addresses to virtual and/or real interfaces. This did involve some
+ added options to rc.inet1.conf. Maybe best of all, /sbin/ifconfig can
+ still be used to view (and even configure) interfaces manually - any
+ additional IP addresses bound to interfaces using rc.inet1 will be done
+ in such a way that /sbin/ifconfig recognizes them.
+
+The ntp package has changed such that ntpd now drops privileges and runs as
+ user ntp and group ntp. Be sure to move/merge the changes to rc.ntpd and
+ /etc/ntp.conf.
+
+The gnupg2 package has changed such that the gpg agent is autostarted on
+ demand now, so be sure to remove any local profile script changes to
+ handle that. Also, there is a new keyring format used by gnupg2-2.2.x,
+ so have a look at https://www.gnupg.org/faq/whats-new-in-2.1.html#keybox
+ for migration tips.
+
+n/postfix replaces n/sendmail as the default MTA.
+ However, postfix is sendmail compatible with respect to function; in
+ other words, any scripts or other applications expecting to *use*
+ sendmail should work just fine, as postfix installs a sendmail binary
+ at /usr/sbin/sendmail. This is all fine and wonderful unless you want
+ to use sendmail *instead* of postfix and thus decided to leave sendmail
+ installed on the system. The postfix package will overwrite the
+ /usr/sbin/sendmail file on the system. Long story short: if you plan
+ to use the sendmail MTA instead of postfix, you will need to reinstall
+ sendmail after postfix. Many distros provide a means of having both MTAs
+ (and even others, such as exim and courier) installed at the same time,
+ but we don't see a reason to bother with that. If for some reason you
+ DO want both:
+ 1: First, install the MTA you do NOT plan to use
+ 2. Rename the /usr/sbin/sendmail binary with a suffix, e.g.
+ # mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
+ 3: Next, install the MTA you DO plan to use
+ Finally, you might want to configure the first-installed MTA to look at
+ the changed path for its sendmail binary. We're not going to cover that
+ here. Also note that only one of the installed MTAs will be able to bind
+ the common SMTP ports, if you want to have both MTAs running.
+
+The cciss driver has been replaced by the hpsa driver, so if you're
+ running an HP server, this may be relevant to you. This is mostly an
+ issue with respect to device references -- if you have references to
+ /dev/cciss/* in e.g. /etc/fstab and/or /etc/smartd.conf, you'll need
+ to fix those. Reference: https://tinyurl.com/cciss-hpsa
+
+The default location for packaged dbus configs and polkit rules are now
+ /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d/ and /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/ ; as such,
+ all packaged files have been moved to those locations. If you upgraded
+ from 14.2, you will have the previous copies of those still inside
+ /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ and /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/ (as they used to be
+ installed with .new suffixes). The upgrade process will not (and should
+ not) automatically remove those, as the locations in /etc are intended
+ to override the locations in /usr/share, and it's possible that the
+ system administrator had edited the files in /etc and intends for those
+ edits to be persistent. If that does not apply, *and* the files remaining
+ in there were not installed by non-stock packages, you may remove the
+ dbus configs and polkit rules files in the /etc locations.
+
+elogind now manages cgroups (cgmanager is removed), so the leftover files
+ at /etc/rc.d/rc.cgmanager and /etc/rc.d/rc.cgproxy should be removed.
+
+Use one of the provided generic kernels for daily use. Do not report
+ bugs until/unless you have reproduced them using one of the stock
+ generic kernels. You will need to create an initrd in order to boot
+ the generic kernels - see /boot/README.initrd for instructions.
+ The huge kernels are primarily intended as "installer" and "emergency"
+ kernels in case you forget to make an initrd. For most systems, you
+ should use the generic SMP kernel if it will run, even if your system is
+ not SMP-capable. Some newer hardware needs the local APIC enabled in the
+ SMP kernel, and theoretically there should not be a performance penalty
+ with using the SMP-capable kernel on a uniprocessor machine, as the SMP
+ kernel tests for this and makes necessary adjustments. Furthermore, the
+ kernel sources shipped with Slackware are configured for SMP usage, so you
+ won't have to modify those to build external modules (such as NVidia or
+ ATI proprietary drivers) if you use the SMP kernel.
+
+ If you decide to use one of the non-SMP kernels, you will need to follow the
+ instructions in /extra/linux-5.10.3-nosmp-sdk/README.TXT to modify your
+ kernel sources for non-SMP usage. Note that this only applies if you are
+ using the Slackware-provided non-SMP kernel - if you build a custom kernel,
+ the symlinks at /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/{build,source} will point to the
+ correct kernel source so long as you don't (re)move it.
+
+If you want to change the resolution of the KMS console, that can be done
+ with something like this as a kernel append in lilo.conf:
+ append="video=1024x768"
+
+Speaking of lilo.conf and KMS, make sure you use either vga=normal or
+ vga=extended -- some of the framebuffers don't like KMS very much...
+
+If you have set up an encrypted root partition, you will need to have access
+ to your keyboard in order to type the passphrase. This may require you to
+ add the uhci-hcd and usbhid modules to your initrd image if you have a USB
+ keyboard. Also note that if you are using a non-US keyboard, you can use the
+ '-l' parameter to the 'mkinitrd' command in order to add support for this
+ keyboard to your initrd.
+
+Subpixel hinting in freetype has been enabled upstream by default, but you
+ may adjust this in /etc/profile.d/freetype.{csh,sh}.

-
-If you have permission errors when attempting to burn a cdrom or dvd image,
- such as the following:
- /usr/bin/cdrecord: Operation not permitted. Cannot send SCSI cmd via ioctl
- then cdrecord almost certainly needs root privileges to work correctly.
- One potential solution is to make the cdrecord and cdrdao binaries suid root,
- but this has possible security implications. The safest way to do that is
- to make those binaries suid root, owned by a specific group, and executable
- by only root and members of that group. For most people, the example below
- will be sufficient (but adjust as desired depending on your specific needs):
- chown root:cdrom /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrdao
- chmod 4750 /usr/bin/cdrecord /usr/bin/cdrdao
- If you don't want all members of the 'cdrom' group to be able to execute the
- two suid binaries, then create a special group (such as 'burning' which is
- recommended by k3b), use it instead of 'cdrom' in the line above, and add
- to it only the users you wish to have access to cdrecord and cdrdao.
-
-Subpixel hinting in freetype has been enabled upstream by default, but you
- may adjust this in /etc/profile.d/freetype.{csh,sh}.
-
-Input methods for complex characters (CJK, which is shorthand for Chinese,
- Japanese, Korean) and other non-latin character sets have been added. These
- input methods use the SCIM (Smart Common Input Method) platform.
- The environment variables for SCIM support are set in /etc/profile.d/scim.sh
- The requirements for getting SCIM input methods to work in your X session
- are as follows:
- (1) Use a UTF-8 locale. Look in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh for setting your
- language to (for instance) en_US.UTF-8. As a word of warning: maybe you
- should leave root with a non-UTF-8 locale because you don't want root's
- commands to be misinterpreted. You can add the following line to your
- ~/.profile file to enable UTF-8 just for yourself:
- export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
- (2) Make the scim profile scripts executable. These will setup your
- environment correctly for the use of scim with X applications. Run:
- chmod +x /etc/profile.d/scim.*
- (3) Start the scim daemon as soon as your X session starts. The scim daemon
- must be active before any of your X applications. In KDE, you can add a
- shell script to the ~/.kde/Autostart folder that runs the command
- "scim -d". In XFCE you can add "scim -d" to the Autostarted Applications.
- If you boot your computer in runlevel 4 (the graphical XDM/KDM login)
- you can simply add the line "scim -d" to your ~/.xprofile file.
- This gives you a Desktop Environment independent way of starting scim.
- When scim is running, you will see a small keyboard icon in your system tray.
- Right-click it to enter SCIM Setup. In 'Global Setup' select your keyboard
- layout, and you are ready to start entering just about any language
- characters you wish! Press the magical key combo <Control><Space>
- in order to activate or deactivate SCIM input. The SCIM taskbar in the
- desktop's corner allows you to select a language. As you type, SCIM will show
- an overview of applicable character glyphs (if you are inputting complex
- characters like Japanese).
