Note
Third-party software may not yet comply with the new standard.
In this case, set the environment variable as described above:
_POSIX2_VERSION=199209.
Note
/etc/gshadow Obsolete
/etc/gshadow has been abandoned and removed, as this file is superflu-
ous for the following reasons:
It is not supported by glibc.
There is no official interface for this file; even the shadow suite does
not contain such an interface.
Most tools that check the group password do not support the file and
ignore it for the said reasons.
OpenLDAP
As the database format has changed, the databases must be regenerated.
During the update, the system attempts to perform this conversion auto-
matically. However, there will certainly be cases in which the conversion
fails.
The schema check has undergone substantial improvement. Therefore, a
number of (non-standard compliant) operations that were possible with the
former LDAP server are no longer possible.
The syntax of the configuration file has partly changed with a view to
ACLs. Following the installation, further information regarding the up-
date is available in the file /usr/share/doc/packages/openldap2/
README.update.
Apache 1.3 Replaced with Apache 2
The Apache web server (version 1.3) has been replaced with Apache 2.
On a system with an HTTP server installation, an update will remove the
Apache package and install Apache 2. Subsequently, the system must be
adapted with YaST or manually. The configuration files in /etc/httpd are
now located in /etc/apache2. Apache 2 needs the apache2-prefork
package (recommended for stability) or the apache2-worker package.
