Have netstart directly source sysconfig so that it stands on its own.
Do not source netstart in rc, run it with sh.
Rework the dangerous /etc/hostname.* so that it uses a variable with
a list of interfaces and a variable for each interface in that list.
The files /etc/hostname.* become obsolete with this change, the
information is now stored in /etc/sysconfig.
Source any /etc/start_if.${ifn} files so they can export things to
netstart (plans for future enhancements in this area.)
Obsolete /etc/defaultrouter, this is now down with $defaultrouter from
sysconfig.
restore but really didn't do it.
Restore message from old rc about configuring syscons whith
echo added before it to go to new line after "echo -n xtend" f.e.
and similar stuff.
changes to it based upon other outstanding bug reports and commits made
after his work.
Comments:
(a) sysconfig is still used to do all configuration. I was not going to
change that out from under you.... a user never need edit netstart
or rc* unless they're being very weird.
(b) rc.maint has been folded back into rc. It is just unworkable as
a separate chunk because of ordering bogosities
(c) netstart does what it says... it starts up enough of the network to
get up, it doesn't start every bloody daemon that might talk to a
socket... netstart ifconfig's the devices and sets up routing if
configured to do so.
(d) nfs disks are mounted immediately after netstart completes
(e) syslog is started as early as possible (right after nfs) so that error
messages can get logged to remote syslog servers properly
(f) named is started (there is an argument that says that named should be
started before syslogd because if you are the dns server for your domain,
you'd like named to resolve remote hosts in syslog.conf, but this is
a minority case and the trivial workarround is to put the syslog host
in /etc/hosts or use an /etc/resolv.conf -- why? because you want syslog
to catch named errors, which is a MUCH more important and likely occurance)
(g) NOW all of the rest of the network daemons such as the time stuff, RPC,
NIS, NFS, Kerberos and inetd are started
(h) the rest of the generic stuff is done (cron/printer/sendmail)
(i) shared libraries are set
(j) /etc/rc.i386 is run (this does FreeBSD/386 specific stuff like ibcs2,
xtend, and all of the syscons stuff
(this is actually started as /etc/rc.`uname -m`
(k) the syscons stuff has gotten a serious cleaning to make it consistent
with rc conventions
(l) rc.local has had the comments about syscons removed (they are not relevant
to this file now) and the full name of the kernel has been restored to
/etc/motd

Make syslogd work again: in needs to be started in netstart right
before the rest of the system daemons are brought up and *after* the
network interfaces have been configured.
Also fix one other potential problem: the NIS services need to be started
relavively early since some of the other daemons might need them. The
automounter is a good example: if you use amd with NIS-based maps, you'd
better have NIS running before you start it. :) I think mountd might
need it too, now that netgroups can be read via NIS as well.

Another pass through our rc files in an attempt to eliminate historical
crufy and generally make all of this easier to understand and modify.

Delete bogus localhost.rev.
Add prototype localhost.rev and a script to create it automatically.
(NB to installl people: you should ask ``do you have a full-time connection
o the Internet?'', run this script, and enable named if the answer is
yes.)
1. Move all system configuration variables into /etc/sysconfig
2. Adapt other files to use it.
3. Add a host of new variables for micro-managing your system in various
ways. For 2.1, /etc/sysconfig will be machine-edited so that the user
doesn't even have to care at all about the various funny names we picked.
4. Enable dset. We won't get it debugged if we never use it, and no one
has said anything negative about it yet, so here goes!
5. Try to use one consistent style throughout.
- Do ntp right
- Move recenrly-added and long-standing junk from rc.local into rc, so
. that rc.local truly is LOCAL.
- Fix named invocation to use the correct boot file location.
Fixed the MAKEDEV pattern for SCSI processor type driver so it doesn't
screw up ptys. Does anyone want to suggest a better name than "pt0" for
SCSI processor devices before 2.1?
Support sliced devices better. E.g.:
`sh MAKEDEV sd0' creates [r]sd0 and [r]sd0s[1-4] as well as [r]sd0[a-h]
(the extra devices created by default won't hurt apart from wasting inodes).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s1[a-h]' creates [r]sd0s1[a-h] (any partition creates all).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s5' creates [r]sd0s5.
Support unit numbers 0-31 (was 0-6).
For wd:
Remove support for creating DOSpartitions wd*[i-m]. These will get removed
if you run MAKEDEV on `all' or on wd*.
o Supporting SYNC SIO device (But need a device driver)
- add "set speed sync"
o Fixing bug for Predictor-1 function.
o Add new parameter that re-sent interval for set timeout commands.
o Improving RTT (Round Trip Time) and reducing processor time.
- Previous Timer service was using polling, and now using
SIGALRM ;-)
- A 0.94beta2 will not work correctly....
-- Follows are additinal feature not including 0.94beta2
o Support Proxy ARP
- add "enable/disable proxy" commands
o Marging common routine in CHAP/PAP.
o Enhancing LCP/IPCP log information.
o Support local Authfication connection on port 300x and tty.
- You can set up pair of your "hostname -s" and
password in ppp.secret. if either ppp.secret file nor
your hostname line don't exist, It will notify a message
and working as same as previous version.(Backword compatibility)
- If you did set up them, It's allow connection but nothing to do
except help and passwd command.
- add "passwd yourpasswd" commands
o Support afilter - keep Alive filter that a packet can send/receiving
according to ifilter/ofilter but doesn't count it as preventing idle
timer expires.
- Same syntax of other filters.
o Fixing bugs reported by current user for previous one. Thanks !!

444 -> root.wheel
root -> root.wheel
uucp -> uucp.wheel (perhaps this should be .dialer, but .wheel is safer)
missing -> root.wheel
chown to root is usually bogus because mknod had to be run by root to
create the inode. Setting the group explictly is currently necessary
because MAKEDEV does nothing to ensure that its working directory has
a suitable group.
Driver authors! Please fix any bogons in MAKEDEV that involve your
drivers. The sound devices are still world writable...
for now (there are too many minors to create by default). The special
sliced disk case ssd*|svn*|swd*) can almost replace the standard disk
case sd*|vn*|wd*) now (it just creates a few more devices), but there
will have to be special cases to allow creating slices 6-31 and partitions
on slices 2-31.
Fix bogus default cases.
Add the `lc' option to default. Having getty understand the issues of
CAPS-only terminals is a nop these days, but `lc' avoids hassles for
people with CAPS-only user names.

weekly:
Modify the call to makewhatis, now that our makewhatis can take the
entire ${MANPATH} as a single argument.
The group was wrong if MAKEDEV was run in a directory with group other
than wheel. This may have messed up the group in recent SNAPs
(sysinstall/obj should have group bin).
Reset the umask to 77 after running MAKEDEV.local. Some cases depend on
the 77 default. MAKEDEV.local and all cases should probably set the
umask explictly and not depend on a default. Most cases already set it.
1) ypserv is started with nis_serverflags, not yppasswddflags (that's what
I get for cutting & pasting without paying attention).
2) ypbind can also be started with arguments, so turn nis_client to
nis_clientflags.
