or "defaultroute"... That's forgivable I guess, but the silly thing
didn't have any way to _enable_ the options either! :-(
This now enables them by default.

1. Fix the bogon I introduced that made some root filesystems fail to be
made with `unable to make filesystem on sd1s1a' or some such error
message.
2. Latest installment in the never-ending chapter on making FTP do the right
thing on a cruel internet.
3. Make `express install' a truly express install and split off what it used
to do into a `novice install' that's even more geared to the novice
by asking questions in order, rather than forcing them through the menu
interface.
4. Make anonymous FTP setup truly DTRT.
5. Build lndir directly into sysinstall and make the novice install offer
to set up the ports tree. Also make the ports setup truly explanatory
about what it's doing, and always link the ports destination to /usr/ports
if necessary so that bsd.port.mk doesn't need to be tweaked.
This causes:
1: inetd to clear it's getlogin() name at startup (in case the sysadmin
logged in and su'ed to root and restarted inetd)
2: inetd to start each spawned process in it's own session.
3: inetd to call setlogin() on non-root processes (eg: uucp for uucico)
4: log failures more extensively
This means that root spawned processes from inetd remain responsible for
setting their login name if they change their uid. (eg: rshd, login, etc).
If they do not do so, it is safer for them to have no "login name" than a
wrong one (like "root") because the getlogin() system call is documented
as "secure" on 4.4BSD. inetd when started from /etc/rc would have no login
name anyway, so this isn't really a change - it's making it consistant with
the bootup state...
The setsid() change *may* cause something to break that is doing a setsid()
itself and checking the result - it will fail now because it's already been
done. The consensis seems to be that this is unlikely. David G. thinks
this is acceptable as it is cleaner from an architectural point of view.
patches to merge the two IPX packages to work with each other and to
not break make-world :)
IPXrouted should be working now, (or at least compiling) :)

John's IPXrouted..
this has not yet been seen to run correctly with Mike's IPX/SPX
code (he has his own)
bringing them both in is the first step in merging the two packages
for 2.2
o Lots of documentation fixes.
o Rename FTP active to "FTP" and explain passive mode better.
o Make tcpip screen a bit more friendly.
o Literally dozens of nits.
2. Fix an infinite recursion bug in FTP retry. Tricky, this FTP install!
3. Add messaging routines for scripts.
4. Fix yet more bogons. I think I'm fixing them faster than they're growing,
but it's hard to say. I'm really glad we're throwing this code away for
2.2!
don't bogusly restore the screen to the message that was the cause of the
abort. That resulted in lots of weird flickering dialog boxes that appeared
to be displayed out of sequence.
