of connections, we cannot afford to allow "disappeared" client to cause
us to leave one of the 14 connections open and hanging in a read() forever.
(SO_KEEPALIVE causes probe packets to be sent after a few hours of IDLE
time where no data has been transferred. Sup should NEVER do this, so the
only time it will have an effect is if it looses the remote machine)
files in /var/tmp. Sup needs to send the file size, so that
prevents running gzip in a pipeline (sigh).
It now opens a temporary file, and immediately unlinks it. It sends
gzip's output to the temp file, and when gzip is done, it rewinds the
file and sends it. When the last fd is closed, the file storage is
reclaimed. With luck, this will stop those 15MB
gzip < emacs-19.30.tgz > /var/tmp/tmp.xxxx files from being left behind
and blowing out /var on freefall.
While I have the platform, let me quote a fortune entry which sup reminds
me of: "It is a crock of sh!t, and it stinks!"
of copies to save is zero. Incorporate suggested fix with some stylistic
cleanup to make the resulting code more readable.

as a PR to GNATs but it evidently went astray somehow since I can't find
it in the database now, nor does an assigned PR# appear on the mail I got.
Sorry about that, Danny!

Bowrite guarantees that buffers queued after a call to bowrite will
be written after the specified buffer (on a particular device).
Bowrite does this either by taking advantage of hardware ordering support
(e.g. tagged queueing on SCSI devices) or resorting to a synchronous write.

not depend on bootverbose being true.
Include only register specifications for those chip sets that apply to
a cpu that might boot this a particular kernel (ie. make the Saturn code
depend on I486_CPU being defined, the Pentium chip sets on I586_CPU ...)
built early enough to always be installed by the `includes' target
in /usr/src/Makefile. This is supposed to be handled by not
installing it if it doesn't exist. However, a stale, uninstallable
copy sometimes exists in the source directory, and the existence
test sometimes found the wrong copy.
I just couldn't get the code to be as small as it should have gotten..
atill a LITTLE bigger than before as I need to allow the
default string to have options as well
Running them twice usually destroyed the target binary. E.g., the
second `make objlink' in `make objlink; make; make objlink' replaced
the `cat' binary by a symlink cat@ -> /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/cat.
`ln -fs' is unusable when the target might be a symlink that resolves
to a directory. Then -f applies to a file in the directory and not
to the symlink. This seems to be the standard (and sometimes useful)
behaviour.
RPC calls to rpc.yppasswdd, but when using the special superuser-only
AF_UNIX socket access method, the server will properly handle all the
additional fields, including pw_change.)
I would also like to take this opportunity to say that Sprint sucks.
copy.
Dont leave stray INS@xxxx temp files around, especially when installing
something less than 8MB and the destination runs out of space, etc.
It still doesn't clean up the temp files on SEGV or other signals etc.
installing. mmap'ing stuff over a nfs mount took out my machine during
a 'make world' last night while I was asleep. I started out with a list
of fs's to avoid, when I realised that I really didn't know which ones
were safe with mmap, so I went for the ones I knew and implemented a
fallback compare.
"." means the object directory, so it is just confusing to use it
when nothing is included from the object directory unless the object
directory is also the source directory. It is confusing for "."
not to mean the source directory anyway, so used `-I.'s should be
replaced by `-I${.OBJDIR}'.
