- Use the "pool" keyword for obtaining servers from ntp.pool.org.
- Add "tos minclock" and "tos maxclock" to limit the number of servers.
- Add "restrict source" to apply appropriate restrictions to servers.
(Specifically "nopeer" cannot be applied to "pool" servers.)
- A single "pool" entry suffices -- using "2.netbsd.pool.ntp.org" so
that we get both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. (No addresses are returned
for just "netbsd.pool.ntp.org.")
- Add a comment about "tinker panic 0" -- useful for VMs and laptops.
- Add a comment about "discard minimum" -- useful for some SNTP clients.
- Add an explanation for the "limited" restriction keyword.
- Unify whitespace and comment formatting.
This results in correct updates to /etc/motd even when the value of
motd_release_tag is changed (a likely event).
Add safe quoting to outputting the read kernel version.
Thanks to kre@ for the feedback.
My personal preferencese for /etc/rc.conf:
update_motd_release=YES
motd_release_tag='Binaries: '
This provides an explanation to users about the second version in motd.
builds on modern systems and seems to have been added as a workaround for
some 2004-era Linux NFS bug. Guessing that the issue has been sorted out
in the meantime.
Still planning to replace wgconfig(8) and wg-keygen(8) by one wg(8)
tool compatible with wireguard-tools; update wg(4) for the minor
changes from the 2018-06-30 spec to the 2020-06-01 spec; &c. This just
clarifies the current state of affairs as it exists in the development
tree for now.
Mark the man page EXPERIMENTAL for extra clarity.
that pre-populate parts of the system (e.g. a tmpfs based /var) an
easy place to plug in like:
# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal
# BEFORE: MOUNTCRITLOCAL
This also cleans up the existing special handling a bit by separating it
into new scripts. All later scripts now depend on MOUNTCRITLOCAL.
Discussed on tech-userlevel some time ago.
