at people. This has been sitting in my tree for a few months now. I
have spoken with quite a few folks about this and the support for doing
this was pretty strong. I dont remember names though, so I cannot share
the blame :-(. Note that this does not *remove* DD mode, it just stops
waving it at new users. You can still set it via config files etc, and
the bootblocks and kernel still support it. You can still use disklabel
to make true DD disks.
- IP addresses are verified as being correct dotted quad format.
- Netmasks are verified as being in correct dotted quad or 0x* format,
and being consecutive 1 bits followed by consecutive 0 bits.
- The gateway is verified as being correct dotted quad format and
being reachable through the configured IP address and netmask.
no as a default. Sysinstall should be both less dangerous and less
annoying as a result of this change, though that's just my opinion
(since they're the defaults which annoy ME the least :).
standard or serial. This change needs to be done to the entire system that
depends on this. This way we don't have some code using OnVTY checks
and other doing
strcmp(variable_get(VAR_FIXIT_TTY), "standard") == 0
checks. Also we need to set VAR_FIXIT_TTY to "serial" if we come up on
a serial console.
Also fixed a dialog problem in that dialog was used when dialog was
disabled causing some troubles such as not letting the cursor keys
work when exiting the fixit mode on media (ie. not the fixit shell but
for example fixit on a floppy).

Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/console.h> files will be removed.

Write kern_securelevel_enable variable to rc.conf if user selects
medium or low security in sysinstall. This overrides the case where a
user selects fascist security and then tries to go back to a lower
setting.
