for a hung `daily' run to keep a `weekly' run from happening.
Same for `monthly'. We have always run `weekly' and `monthly' reguardless
of the execution status of `daily'. Until there is some consensus we should
not change the behavior.
On Saturdays, run daily and weekly sequentially, starting at 03:01 am.
This prevents daily and weekly from overlapping, while running weekly as
early as possible (i.e. as soon as daily finishes) to give it time to
finish before monthly starts at 05:30 am.
It's probably possible to do something similar with monthly, making it
run as soon as daily (and possibly weekly, if the first of the month
is a Saturday) finishes, but this is left as an exercise for the reader.
work right when the administrator has modified their runtime environment
in a manner not anticipated by our script.

for a while, but a recent email to -stable suggests it should be spelled
out as the documentation of "password_format" is sparse.
Also add a `des_users' entry.

over the past couple years. The most recent came to the general consensus
that this was the best time, but no one actually made the change, so I'll
don my asbestos undies and dive in.
Please note that this time was chosen with input from people in various
countries with various methods and schedules for switching to and from DST.
There is no perfect time to schedule this job that works for everyone, but
this time both A) Works for more people, and B) Causes problems for fewer
people. And, ultimately, you can always change it if you need to.
ENABLE_SUID_SSH being defined reenable it for those that want it.
This follows discussion favoring the change from September. It
is not usually necessary to be setuid root, possibly less safe,
and less convenient (cannot use $HOSTALIASES, for example).

overwriting $PATH, and find mknod $PATH instead of hardcoding /sbin so
that the copy of MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy is usable, since mknod and
expr live in /mnt2/stand when the fixit floppy is running.
Get rid of the sed invokation in release/Makefile that attempts to
delete the PATH setting stuff from MAKEDEV on the fixit floppy. This
hasn't worked since a long ago change to MAKEDEV caused the sed
expression to no longer match.

a) the configured default printer entry might turn out to become a security hole
Although lpd isn't enabled by default in FreeBSD 4 and later versions
bad things might happen because of a simple copy and paste failure:
- fill up root-fs, if /dev/lpt0 doesn't exist
- fill up the spool dir (either root-fs or var-fs) if machine hadn't been
designed as print server
Therefore best decision: if people want printing, then configure both
1. /etc/rc.conf
2. /etc/printcap
the default entry wouldn't have served well all tastes and needs anyway...
design of most of our config files is, to have commented out suggestions
if a service is not active.
b) [Garance]
fix old and wrong documentation:
input filters are possible even if you print to a remote printer
this makes FreeBSDs implementation of lpd currently the best without
having to switch to port monster LPRng ...
c) fix pointer to wrong handbook section for a longer time .. so I doesn't fix the number
I'm only referring to the printing section, otherwise this would have to be fixed several
times, if the chapters should be reordered again ...
d) typo: chose -> choose
