and make unset insted of NO to produce warnings, so that setting it to NO does
produce warnings (if it is inappropriate for the machine to warn about this).
This code has been developed by Abhinav Upadhyay as part of Google's Summer
of Code 2011. It uses libmandoc to parse man pages and builds a Full
Text Index in a SQLite database. The combination of indexing the full
manual page, filtering out stop words and ranking individual matches
based on the section gives a much improved user experience.
The old makewhatis and friends are kept under MKMAKEMANDB=no for now.
favor of the PKG_DBDIR variable in /etc/pkg_install.conf. The purpose
of this is to only have to define the location of the packages database
in a single place and have all other system components pick it up.
pkgdb_dir is still honored if defined and the scripts will spit out a
warning in that case, asking the administrator to migrate to the
PKG_DBDIR setting. We can't remove this compatibility workaround until,
at least, after NetBSD 6 is released.
remains world-readable. Otherwise, it ends up with 600 permissions which
make it unusable for building pkgsrc packages as non-root.

value when packages are found (so that the user knows he is not getting the
vulnerability checks).
Why? People is complaining. (And somehow, the argument that NetBSD doesn't
do any network operation by default convinces me that it should continue to
do so.)
But still, I will be adding a question to sysinst to enable/disable this.
packages vulnerability database up to date. This will only fetch the
file from the server if it has changed since the last run.
Add the check_pkg_vulnerabilities and check_pkg_signatures options to the
security script to check that the installed packages are sane.
All of these options are enabled by default but they will only run if
there is, at least, one installed package.
name where the user should look at for documentation about rcvar. It defaults
to 'rc.subr(5)', as rc.subr is mainly used by rc.d scripts.
This variable is useful to let the daily, weekly, monthly and security scripts
tune the warning message shown when any of the variables they handle is not
properly set.

print a summary rather than the full (and not usually desired) output
of netstat -inv. The old behavior can be returned by simply setting
full_netstat to YES in daily.conf.
Original idea by me, cleaner and more correct execution via small awk
script from Greg Woods.
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).
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.
