eg: options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".
little more reliably. So far I've received a couple of positive
responses and no objections to these changes.
There are two one-line changes:
- In wdprobe(), when testing the error status of drives, don't
unconditionally decide that there is no controller present if we
read back a value of 0x81 (drive 0 okay, drive 1 failed) twice
in a row. This may be caused by having an ATAPI CD-ROM jumpered
as a master on the controller with no slave.
- In wdgetctlr(), when checking for a status of WDCS_READY, check the
value twice. The first time may be bogus. This stops a phantom wd2
device from being detected when an ATAPI CD-ROM is attached to the
secondary controller alone as a slave. (This can cause installation to
fail when sysinstall attempts to open the phantom device and wedges the
system as a result. This has bitten me a couple of times on some
Gateway 2000 machines.)
bomb out. Unfortunately, FreeBSD's sio driver and certain internal
modems don't get along very well, which can cause the serial port to
wedge until it is closed and reopened.
Add new variable, connect-max-attempts, default = 1 (to mimic previous
behavior). If > 1, will try up to "n" times to dial remote site before
aborting.
pipe the man page source through before compressing or installing.
This can be used to do do (eg) sed substitution on man pages from
3rd party packages (in particular, ncurses and bind-4.9.4)
This should not affect anything already in the source tree.
. make pccncheck() work even when interrupts are disabled, so the
``Press a key on the console...'' procedure will work,
. make kernel colors #ifndef, so they can be overridden from the
config file,
. use shutdown_nice() instead of cpu_reset() if Ctrl-Alt-Del is
enabled,
. allow pccngetc() to return more than a single character, so the
arrow keys will work (and thus visual UserConfig!),
. fix a warning.
This closes all know PRs related to pcvt, in particular #845, #1236,
and #1265. PR #991 is a duplicate for 845, and PR #1283 has already
been fixed earlier in rev 1.11 of pcvt_conf.h.

Emacs-style line editing has already been there (did anybody ever
notice this? :), so i `only' had to add ^P and ^N. The approach is
fairly minimalistic, with the advantage of keeping the bloat as small
as 864 bytes of .text and 16 bytes of .bss, plus 10*120 bytes
malloc'ed history buffer at the first use.
possibility of a security hole. It now does what rdist-6 does, and calls
/usr/bin/rsh if not running as root. There are NO protocol changes, this
is 100% compatable with the old rdist, except that it does not need setuid
root privs.
However, there are some minor differences to the base rdist-6 code in that
if it is being run by root, it will call rcmd(3) directly rather than
piping everything through rsh(1). This is a little more efficient as it
doesn't involve context switching on pipe reads/writes.
Also, the -P option was added from rdist-6.1.2, which allows an alternative
rsh program to be specified, such as ssh. Note that it requires the fixes
to the ssh port to disable the unconditional USE_PIPES option that was
recently added. The rcmd(3) optimisation is disabled if a non-rsh program
is speficied.

This hack makes this 89.999928 Mhz clock correctly round to the closer

allow a tunnel interface to be openned even if it has no remote address yet.
this may be needed if you have used
route add default -interface tun0
where the remote end might not even HAVE a number (e.g. netcom links)
Submitted by: archie@whistle.com
This patch allows true interface routing to be controlled
from the command line..
you can now do:
route add default -interface ppp0
even if you have no clue what the address at the other end is..
this is part of a set of changes that allow true "unnumbered links"
such as netcom run between their sites..
In practice you should assign the address from one of your ethernet
interfaces to the local side of the P2P link so that IP doesn't
say that the packet comes from 255.255.255.255, but
there is no need whatsoever to assign an address of any kind
to the remote end of the link.. useful for frame relay links etc also.
