Note that this code is dormant unless the options files exist.
Also, parsing of quoted options in the config files is improved.
What this allows, is all the options in LINT to be specified to be
configured as #defines in a file rather than on the CC command line at
kernel build time. This means that 'make depend' will catch dependencies
on actual *options*, meaning that you can run 'config' and 'make depend'
in complete safety WITHOUT removing the compile directory each time.
Unfortunately, this requires a pass over the source to get the individual
files to #include the new .h files that would be generated by config.
This has a small compile time penalty (appears up to about 2% slower)
from a "fresh" build. Of course, you should not be needing to do complete
rebuilds very often once this was completed, so it would be an overall
win for most people.
Since this code is dormant and we've got a lot of other things happening
on the kernel tree at the moment (prototypes, devfs, static declarations
etc) I am not planning on doing any changes to activate this feature just
yet.
sendmail mailing list. Our /etc/rc will be fixed instead.
It seems sendmail becomes more and more incompatible, f.e.
Return-Receipt-To not works anymore :-(

Subject: Yet another IPXrouted fix
I think these should
should make IPXrouted fairly stable. These last problems only showed when
we had more than one route of the same cost to a net.
This will fix some endless loops in the clone code.

Sigh, I really hate this "feature". I'm tempted to comment the test out
(like in sendmail 8.6.xx), especially since we log the info in the
Received: header line anyway.. Doing it like this only makes it painful
for things like uucp..
turn off the read data block timeouts. This was inspired by the same fix
in sendmail-8.7, but the code in this area is somewhat different. (8.7
is much more sensible). This will stop the infamous
"timeout waiting for input during message body read" on long running jobs,
eg: /etc/daily | mail root.
`interesting' feature of syslogd turned up. It calls getbootfile() for each
log entry. Since the kernel makefile now changes kern.bootfile when doing
a 'make install', it's quite startling to see the syslog lines change.
This change makes it call getbootfile() once at startup and cache it,
saving a syscall per loop, and keeping something a little more asthetically
pleasing in /var/log/messages...
Here is some patches to IPXrouted. It does the following:
Always use the sap port in the destination address of sap broadcasts.
Clear the host part of network addresses so that routes will really
be deleted in the kernel.
rather out of date.. it even suggested that it was ppp-2.1.1 still :-)
I've selected some bits from the README files and pre-pended it so that
at least reading it tells you _something_ about the recent history.
o Caution against use of `W' options in label/partition screens (dangerous!)
o Make various types of debugging dreck conditionalize on DEBUG flag
o Make a fake /var/db/mountdbtab file so new system doesn't complain
o Apply uniform permissions to entire /usr/X11R6 tree.
o Set erase character to ^H for all interactive commands.
o Don't panic if user exits upgrade shell, reboot.
o Document dangers of `W' options in help screens also.
Since msdosfs is part of the base system, it's not wise to rely on
something like mtools to provide this functionality.
This utility is the agreed fix for PR # misc/804 fdformat did not ...
or "defaultroute"... That's forgivable I guess, but the silly thing
didn't have any way to _enable_ the options either! :-(
This now enables them by default.

1. Fix the bogon I introduced that made some root filesystems fail to be
made with `unable to make filesystem on sd1s1a' or some such error
message.
2. Latest installment in the never-ending chapter on making FTP do the right
thing on a cruel internet.
3. Make `express install' a truly express install and split off what it used
to do into a `novice install' that's even more geared to the novice
by asking questions in order, rather than forcing them through the menu
interface.
4. Make anonymous FTP setup truly DTRT.
5. Build lndir directly into sysinstall and make the novice install offer
to set up the ports tree. Also make the ports setup truly explanatory
about what it's doing, and always link the ports destination to /usr/ports
if necessary so that bsd.port.mk doesn't need to be tweaked.
This causes:
1: inetd to clear it's getlogin() name at startup (in case the sysadmin
logged in and su'ed to root and restarted inetd)
2: inetd to start each spawned process in it's own session.
3: inetd to call setlogin() on non-root processes (eg: uucp for uucico)
4: log failures more extensively
This means that root spawned processes from inetd remain responsible for
setting their login name if they change their uid. (eg: rshd, login, etc).
If they do not do so, it is safer for them to have no "login name" than a
wrong one (like "root") because the getlogin() system call is documented
as "secure" on 4.4BSD. inetd when started from /etc/rc would have no login
name anyway, so this isn't really a change - it's making it consistant with
the bootup state...
The setsid() change *may* cause something to break that is doing a setsid()
itself and checking the result - it will fail now because it's already been
done. The consensis seems to be that this is unlikely. David G. thinks
this is acceptable as it is cleaner from an architectural point of view.
patches to merge the two IPX packages to work with each other and to
not break make-world :)
IPXrouted should be working now, (or at least compiling) :)
Submitted by: john Hay (John.Hay@csir.co.za)
John's IPXrouted..
this has not yet been seen to run correctly with Mike's IPX/SPX
code (he has his own)
bringing them both in is the first step in merging the two packages
for 2.2
o Lots of documentation fixes.
o Rename FTP active to "FTP" and explain passive mode better.
o Make tcpip screen a bit more friendly.
o Literally dozens of nits.
There are some important bugfixes here, but nothing earth-shattering.
In particular, the Lame Delegation detection is massively sped up, meaning
that a lame server can be given up on in a few seconds, rather than taking
75 seconds. This will be a big win for large mailing list machines,
eg: freefall.
Note: this is a remote cvs import... Backups have been made.. :-)

2. Fix an infinite recursion bug in FTP retry. Tricky, this FTP install!
3. Add messaging routines for scripts.
4. Fix yet more bogons. I think I'm fixing them faster than they're growing,
but it's hard to say. I'm really glad we're throwing this code away for
2.2!
don't bogusly restore the screen to the message that was the cause of the
abort. That resulted in lots of weird flickering dialog boxes that appeared
to be displayed out of sequence.
that the FTP install doesn't deal with timeouts and hasn't since it was
written. Fixed.
2. Totally eliminate the OptionFlags. I only had to work harder to
sync them with configuration variables, so why not simply always use
configuration variables? This has actually greatly simplified areas
of the code.
o Implement the 2.0.5->2.1 upgrade procedure (gah).
o Bring in Coranth's support for configuration of anon ftp and Samba
plus some changes of my own.
o More attempts to actually write the documentation in english.
o Update docs to contain more 2.1-centric information.
I'm really, truly using it). Allow distribution fetch to get .info
files from the root.flp OR the distribution in question, allowing us
to add flexibility to the scheme. At some point, perhaps soon, the
cached copy should probably go away entirely!
Merge today's work.
Now support an attributes file loaded at startup (true front-loaded install).
Add fuller debugging support to all device I/O routines.
Lots-o-bug fixes.
