it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version.
* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
possibility of accidentally overwriting something other
than a regular file.
to 0775.
This does *not* instantly make any program which "ensures"
mail spool consistency by creating lock files safe in any way
since other tools, like mail.local, will be using flock() semantics
and any such lock file will simply be ignored. It does, however,
allow a lot of things which are currently suid root in order to create
such bogus lockfiles to, at least, be bogus at a much lower level of
privilege (and this is good). Ultimately, of course, everybody should
just use flock.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
default, so there's no use in running it without any printer
definition in printcap. Also added a bunch of hints about the printer
setup, to guide the admin about the printer setup (handbook,
"apsfilter"), and a commented-out sample setup for a remote printer.
In the same line, add /var/spool/lpd/output to BSD.var.dist since it
is referred to by the "lp" entry in printcap.
built release after fixing all the wrong directory permissions in that release.
Then use diff -c -b to verify them against the old versions, nothing but
new directories added :-). And a lot of alphabetizing done!
new mtree options.
I will be updating these shortly to remove some old stuff and add some
new stuff. These currently produce the exact same trees as they did.
you MUST add the directory name and the .. entry to close the directory.
If you do not understand mtree files, do not modify them, it is very
easy to trash someones box with a mistake in here. Especially with
regards to .. entries.
