SysKonnect SK-9D21 and SK-9D41, and the built-in gigE NICs on
Dell PowerEdge 2550 servers. The latter configuration hauls ass:
preliminary measurements show TCP speeds of over 900Mbps using
only normal size frames.
TCP/IP checksum offload, jumbo frames and VLAN tag insertion/stripping
are supported, as well as interrupt moderation.
Still need to fix autonegotiation support for 1000baseSX NICs, but
beyond that, driver is pretty solid.
survive a sysinstall Ctrl-C -> 'Restart'. This fixes another annoying
bug where restarting sysinstall will try to reload kernel modules and
do other external things that have already been done. For now, use
these persistent variables to keep track of module, usbd, and pccardd
initialization.

telling sysinstall to 'restart' will do no such thing since many of
the options are still set and so you won't be prompted for them
again.

both 'debug' and 'SYSINSTALL_DEBUG' to get a log of sysinstall's
activities. Now, only 'debug' is necessary.

handled by usb.c. (usb.c already sets usbd_enable iff sysinstall
detects usb during install).

and RTSOL in sysinstall. If the respective TRY_FOO variable is set to
"YES" then it will be tried without prompting the user.
However, if the TRY_FOO variable is set to "NO" then the user will not
be prompted for a choice. This is the correct behavior, since we want
people to be able to script sysinstall in either case.
However, the default TRY_FOO variable has been "NO" since 1999. This
is incorrect, and when the logic was corrected in tcpip.c this has the
effect of never giving the user a choice to use DHCP or IPv6. The
value should be undefined until it is set by a script or by the user.

removed, this can easily be trimmed also; in the mean time, it allows
diskcheckd to be easily disabled using our documented management

than handling it as a side effect of the security profile. Update the

o Rename "Fascist" to "Extreme" in the source code, to match the names
presented to the user.
o Remove portmap and inetd from profile management. Portmap is now
disabled by default, but automatically turned on if a feature requires
it (such as NFS, etc).
This is an MFC candidate for 4.4-RELEASE.

of both configTTYs and configTtys by renaming configTTYs to
configEtcTtys. While this is not a C naming conflict, it was probably
a poor choice of names on my part.
system installation process. This allows users installing via serial
console to enable serial console login during the installation
process using an un-customized install. The user is not prompted to
modify /etc/ttys during a normal install, but is offered the
opportunity during post-install configuration.
- Introduce configTTYs(), which describes the benefits of editing
/etc/ttys, and asks for confirmation before spawning the editor.
- add configTTYs to the post-install configuration, as well as to
the global configuration index.
by providing the opportunity to edit inetd.conf during the system
installation process. The following modifications were made:
(1) Expand the Anonymous FTP description dialog to indicate that inetd
and ftpd must be enabled before it can be used.
(2) Introduce a new configInetd() pair of dialogs, the first describing
inetd, giving a couple of examples of services that require it, and
hinting at potential risk, then asking the user if they wish to
enable it. The second indicates that inetd.conf must be configured
to enabled specific services, and asks if the user would like to
load inetd.conf into the editor to modify it. Add this
configuration action to the index.
There are some further improvements that might be considered:
(1) Provide a more inetd.conf-specific configuration tool that speaks
inetd.conf(5). However, this is made difficult by the "yet another
configuration format" nature of inetd.conf, as well as its use of
commenting to disable services, rather than an in-syntax way to
disable a service without commenting it out. Submissions here
would probably be welcome.
(2) There's some overlap between settings in the somewhat obtuse
Security Profile mechanism and other settings, including the inetd
setting, and NFS server configuration. As features become
individually tunable, they should probably be removed from the
security profile mechanism. Otherwise, somewhat counter-intuitively,
sysinstall (in practice) queries multiple times whether inetd, nfsd,
etc, should be enabled/disabled. A possible future direction might
be to drive profiles not by degree of paranoia, rather, the set
of services desired. Or simply to remove the Security Profile
mechanism and resort to feature-driven configuration.
