The last version expected elvis* files in /var/tmp, while elvis puts
elv* files there.
back editor!
Add nvi recovery precedure from man page.
Fix ntpdate echo lines so that it looks pretty (ntpdate spits out 1 line
of output that makes the system boot up look real ugly if you do it
echo -n, so I chaged it to echo, and then added a
echo -n 'starting more network daemons:' so any addition daemon starts
look normal.
Further it implements crontab -e.
I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are
that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond
used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as
Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD.
NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING:
1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron
*EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in
/etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify
usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's
BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway)
2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy
in /etc from /usr/src/etc.
'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron
will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab.
3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note
that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself
and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab.
The default logfile file is the same as before:
syslog.conf:cron.* /var/cron/log
-Guido
gives the flags to be passed to sendmail when it is started. (If it is
"NO", sendmail is not started.) Also, always start the portmapper regardless
of the value of $nfs_server; this should prevent the inetd complaints we
have seen from recurring.
