Shouldn't be needed, but install has no other good way to deal with
this.
Pointed out by Rob Windsor in PR 14394 -- I committed his patch plus
one for something he didn't hit yet.
the etc Makefile override that by putting USETOOLS into $.MAKEOVERRIDES
This way the default for kernel compiles is still to use the installed
toolchain instead of depending on $TOOLDIR. $TOOLDIR can be used by
simply adding USETOOLS=yes to the command line as usual.
Adjust each ports template to set the default no setting and also pull in
bsd.own.mk if they weren't already to ensure they'll build correctly
with the new toolchain setup.
csh: Permission denied
csh: Trying to start from "/var/log"
message.
This was caused by the
su -m uucp -c "uustat -a"
line being executed in a directory not readable by uucp. The login
shell implied by -m is of course root's shell, /bin/csh, which doesn't
like not being able to read the dir it is in, and thus the errors. By
temporarily cd'ing to /tmp the problem is fixed.
What is really needed, of course, is a way to tell su what shell you
want to use explicitly, especially for use in scripts where the
vagaries of which shell the login executing the script uses should not
be depended on. No such method exists. One should be added.
Indeed, it might also be nice to have a way of telling su to directly
execute a command with -c rather than using a shell to interpret the
command.
I cannot find any standards documents that specify su at the moment,
though. SuSv2 is silent on su(8).
- Resurrect /etc/changelist, even if it's an "empty" file by default,
because it's easier to use than /etc/mtree/special.local for adding
a couple of simple files. Back by popular demand (hi @@@! :-)
- Add /etc/rc.d/* to the list of "dynamic" files; this notices changes
in user-added scripts
- Only calculate the mtree -I nomail list once, and re-use
- Use "cat foo | while read file" instead of "for file in `cat foo`" ;
handles whitespace better...
Features:
- Add a bunch of stuff to /etc/mtree/special to enable removal of
/etc/changelist:
- files which we want to monitor for changes but don't want to
see the diffs of (master.passwd, ssh_host_key, ...) are
tagged with "nomail"
- files which we don't want to monitor are tagged with "exclude"
(such as netgroup.db, kvm.db, ...)
- monitor /etc/mtree/special.local, /root/.ssh/*
- remove /etc/changelist, and a bunch of XXX comments
- use mtree(8)'s -D, -I, and -E to generate lists of files to
actually do the changelist stuff on.
- support /etc/mtree/special.local as an optional user-provided
version of /etc/mtree/special (effectively, an enhanced
/etc/changelist)
- Add code to monitor: /etc/ifconfig.* /etc/raid*.conf /etc/rc.conf.d/*
including support for these files being added and removed at will.
- If /sbin/fdisk exists, backup the output of "fdisk $disk" for all
the active disk drives as part of $check_disklabels
- Check permissions on: ~/.ssh/* ~/.shosts
Details:
- Reorder initialisation of defaults
- Remove special case for /etc/master.passwd "monitor but don't email diffs"
with general case for other similar files.
- Keep all `autogenerated' files (such as disklabel.*, setuid.current, ...)
in "$backup_dir/work", to minimise name clashes.
- Add migrate_file(old, new) to do the hard work of migrating files
from the old `top level' /var/backups mechanism to the `full path'
mechanism recently added. Use this appropriately.
- Add backup_and_diff(file, printdiffs), to the hard work of backing-up
and diff-ing files.
- Cleanup use of shell redirects
- /bin/sh supports ~root globbing, so use it.
- Improve umask checking; use awk regex rather than awk math
It still doesn't work, but you won't get the error about an Unknown option: `-a'
anymore.
The login shell for uucp is /usr/libexec/uucp/uucico, so su -m doesn't work.
This needs to be fixed.
Use a default "/set uname=root gname=wheel".
This drastically reduces the size of the file, as well as making it
far more maintainable. The differences are:
lines words bytes filename
342 1633 16272 special-relative
295 998 11971 special-absolute
This drastically reduces the size of the file, as well as making it
far more maintainable. The differences are:
lines words bytes filename
3240 3847 43634 NetBSD.dist-relative
632 696 17166 NetBSD.dist-absolute
of all installed pkgs and their +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY files (if
they have one) and handling this file along with all the other
CHANGELIST stuff.
Greg Woods gets points for coming up with the idea.
Luke Mewburn asked me to do it, and provided lots of criticism along
the way.
