at the end, and as wscons (actually ttyE0) is required to login on the console,
it is probably better that an out of space MAKEDEV fail on some other device.
and links exist:
${ntpd_chrootdir}/dev/clockctl
/var/db/ntp.drift -> ${ntpd_chrootdir}/var/db/ntp.drift
and then start ntpd with the appropriate options to run chroot(2)ed
under $ntpd_chrootdir as user ntpd group ntpd.
to take advantage of this, set ntpd_chrootdir in /etc/rc.conf.
[this is based on similar work i did for rc.d/named]
when building the kernel sets and placing gzip'd kernels in binary/kernels.
For example, if KERNEL_SUFFIXES were set to "ecoff srec", then the kernel
set would include:
netbsd
netbsd.ecoff (only if it exists in the kernel compile directory)
netbsd.srec (only if it exists in the kernel compile directory)
This is useful for packaging kernel sets for platforms which have
extra special requirements for loading the kernel.
more consistent. To quote the comment in etc/Makefile
that describes how it's done:
# This target builds the kernels specified by each port. A port may
# specify the following kernels:
#
# KERNEL_SETS The list of kernels that will be
# packaged into sets, named
# kern-${kernel}.tgz. These kernels
# are also placed in the binary/kernels
# area of the release package as
# netbsd-${kernel}.gz.
#
# EXTRA_KERNELS Additional kernels to place in the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package as netbsd-${kernel}.gz, but
# which are not placed into sets. This
# allows a port to provide e.g. a netbootable
# installation kernel containing a ramdisk.
#
# BUILD_KERNELS Additional kernels to build which are
# not placed into sets nor into the
# binary/kernels area of the release
# package. These are typically kernels
# that are built for inclusion only in
# installation disk/CD-ROM/tape images.
#
the latter being called by the "distribution" target. This allows the
various /etc/... files to be installed manually in a convenient way, if
desired.
NOTE: It is INTENTIONAL that this target is not named "install".
or distribution.
Also, clean up the check and include <sys/endian.h> instead -- some platforms'
<machine/endian_machdep.h> pull in the definitions of _BIG_ENDIAN and
_LITTLE_ENDIAN, invalidating the test; this makes the check values uniformly
"4321" and "1234" respectively.
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
