you changed `myname.my.domain' in /etc/hosts to match hostname(1), and
you run inetd(8) with the -l option, any connect to `myname' using its
real IP address through inetd(8), e.g. `ftp -a myname', will spam your
/var/log/messages with:
inetd[PID]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 23: host name/name mismatch: myname.my.domain != localhost
This is especially bad for -STABLE, where /etc/host.conf defaults to
"files first then DNS" resolution order.

and ftpd. This more conservative default reduces the exposure of
freshly installed machines, which is especially valuable for machines
that receive minimal further configuration before being put into
production. Generally speaking, SSH has superseded the use of both
telnet and ftp in many environments. In light of recent remotely
exploitable security holes in both telnetd and ftpd, this choice
retains flexibility (both telnetd and ftpd daemons remain installed
and easily enableable) while protecting users who don't need the
additional risk. This change brings our configuration into line with
the majority of other UNIX vendors, including OpenBSD and NetBSD.
To address the concerns of those requiring remote access via telnet
from first install, changes will shortly be committed to sysinstall
to provide the ability to edit inetd.conf during the installation
process, allowing telnetd and ftp to be re-enabled during the
installation process.
While I'm at it, slightly improve commenting for inetd.conf so that
it's more clear to users how to enable and disable services.
Further commenting to indicate the functions of various columns would

fsck checking. Applying these changes (typically via mergemaster)
will cause your system to start running background checks on all
your soft update enabled filesystems (provided that you have
a kernel with the required functionality, e.g., one built since
the end of April). Please report any and all problems to
mckusick@mckusick.com (not mckusick@freebsd.org which I read
infrequently). See the comment above the fsck command in /etc/rc
for instructions on how to disable background checking should it
cause you too much trouble.
Several FAQs:
1) Can I reboot before the background checks are done?
Ans) Yes, when the system restarts the checks will pick up
where they left off.
2) Can a crash during checking corrupt my filesystem?
Ans) No, recovered resources are returned to the system using soft
updates which ensure that the freeing is done in a safe order.
3) How will I know if any background checks are being done?
Ans) Filesystems that are to be checked in background will be listed
as `DEFER FOR BACKGROUND CHECKING' at the usual fsck check time
during system startup.
4) What happens to the output of the background checks?
Ans) It is sent to syslog `daemon' facility log level `notice'.
5) When will this feature be available in the 4.X kernel?
Ans) Never. It is much too radical and extensive a change to be
MFC'ed. Besides, it needs many months of experience and
tuning before it is ready for widespread use.
6) What happens if a background fsck fails (i.e., fsck finds
errors that would normally require a manual fsck)?
Ans) The filesystem will be marked as needing a manual fsck.
At the next system reboot, the check will be done in
foreground and the usual actions taken (usually a failure
to go multi-user until fsck has been run by hand on the
affected filesystem).
the null mount, we currently create a temporary mfs on /tmp, copy
/etc to /tmp, then mount /etc as mfs and copy everything back from
/tmp, then delete the /tmp mfs.
The patch eliminates the temporary /tmp mfs and the subsequent
copying and simply populates the /etc mfs by copying from
/conf/default/etc. This requires that /conf/default/etc contain a
complete copy of all the /etc stuff instead of just overrides. I
don't think that is too much of an extra step in setting up a
diskless environment.
* Provide the ability to make /tmp a memory filesystem independent
of /var. This removes the requirement that /tmp be a symlink to
/var/tmp and this makes the diskless code work with the default
filesystem layout. If a seperate /tmp memory filesystem is
created, the 'tmpsize' environment variable is used to determine
its size (default to 10 Meg).
* Reduce diffs between the -current and -stable versions of these
files to a bare minimum. Only the definition of the shell
function 'mount_md' is different.

This driver supports PCI Xr-based and ISA Xem Digiboard cards.
dgm will go away soon if there are no problems reported. For now,
configuring dgm into your kernel warns that you should be using
digi. This driver is probably close to supporting Xi, Xe and Xeve
cards, but I wouldn't expect them to work properly (hardware
donations welcome).
The digi_* pseudo-drivers are not drivers themselves but contain
the BIOS and FEP/OS binaries for various digiboard cards and are
auto-loaded and auto-unloaded by the digi driver at initialisation
time. They *may* be configured into the kernel, but waste a lot
of space if they are. They're intended to be left as modules.
The digictl program is (mainly) used to re-initialise cards that
have external port modules attached such as the PC/Xem.
