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 Generally speaking, SSH has superseded the use of both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
probably also be useful.

us anyway because it doesn't work right on the x86 and alpha. On
K&R code, small ints would be promoted to int. ANSI-C doesn't require
this and the small ints can be passed taking 8 or 16 bits of stack
space. However, the x86 abi that we use *does* promote to 32 bit,
and the alpha ABI passes them in 64 bit registers so we dont have
that aspect of the problem here. Losing float precision by having it
cast down to int because the funtion prototype specifies int is the
least of our problems. -Wmissing-prototypes helps here anyway.

the following description in RFC2461:
AdvSendAdvertisements
A flag indicating whether or not the router sends
periodic Router Advertisements and responds to
Router Solicitations.
Default: FALSE
Note that AdvSendAdvertisements MUST be FALSE by

acting as a router unless it is explicitly
configured by system management to send Router
Advertisements.

critical problem after the snap was out were fixed.
There are many many changes since last KAME merge.
TODO:
- The definitions of SADB_* in sys/net/pfkeyv2.h are still different
from RFC2407/IANA assignment because of binary compatibility
issue. It should be fixed under 5-CURRENT.
- ip6po_m member of struct ip6_pktopts is no longer used. But, it
is still there because of binary compatibility issue. It should
be removed under 5-CURRENT.

Future remote filesystem types should be added to remote_fstypes, which

The specific problem this fixes right now is that smbfs mounts described

Note: If people starts seeing disk errors because of this then it

With a small disk being 20GB these days, chances are pretty good that
an ailing sector will not be read while still being recoverable by
the drive.
Diskcheck daemon will read disks in the background at a low rate and
that way give the diskdrive a chance to detect and correct soft read
errors before they become hard errors.
