of queuing mails only can be restored by uncommenting a CFLAGS+= line
in the makefile, so sites that _really_ need this (perhaps some huge
mail hubs) can still have it. The majority of FreeBSD boxes is better
served with an immediate delivery (and last time i've been asking on
the list, nobody complained).
stat the pathname "" in order to decide that the pathname "/" is
a directory. This caused `cp kernel /' to fail if the kernel has
the POSIX behaviour of not allowing the pathname "" to be an alias
for ".". It presumably also caused `cp /etc/motd /' to fail in
the unlikely event that "." is not stat'able.
Be more careful about concatenating pathnames: don't check that
the pathname fits until prefixes have been discarded (the check
was too strict). Print the final pathname in error messages.
Terminate the target directory name properly for error messages.
Don't add a slash between components if there is already a slash.
Fix several bugs involving the obsolescent -d and -t options:
-d 0 and -t 0 were ignored
-t -600 was a usage error
-d 'atoi is not suitable for parsing args' and -t duh were not usage errors
Change some error messages to say which call to settimeofday failed.
Restore casts of NULL in function calls.
Finish conversion to using err() instead of perror().
You can get ps easily to core dump, if you are running a "make depend"
on a kernel in one window and a "ps -auxww" in another. The ww will
try to give you the full argument list of the command that can
now be 64Kb large, but ps expected only 4Kb large arg arrays and
doesn't check for overflows.
MKINIT line that doesn't have a comment on it (we have at least two).
This mkinit program was written by someone who obviously doesn't believe
in defensive programming. :-( There's a LOT of work that needs to be done
on this thing. :-( :-( :-(
find it in /bin. This is something of a kludge, I know, but consider
my limited alternatives: I can't make this an execvp() without making
people scream that I introduced a failure point or slowed down pwd,
and I can't make it an optional macro since crunch doesn't let you pass
arbitrary command-line args to the build of one of its crunch-ees.
This is the simplest, if not the nicest looking, solution I could come up
with.
- Get rid of inverse logic (NOKERBEROS and NOEBONES) in src/makefile,
and replace with MAKE_KERBEROS and MAKE_EBONES. (Far fewer contortions,
and both default to off.) IF YOU WANT KERBEROS, YOU HAVE TO EXPLICITLY
DEFINE ONE OF THESE.
- Make Makefiles kerberos-aware.
