8a995caf00 This is Vixie cron 3.0. This version fixes all known security bugs.
Further it implements crontab -e.
I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are
that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond
used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as
Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD.

NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING:

1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron
   *EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in
   /etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify
   usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's
   BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway)
2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy
   in /etc from /usr/src/etc.
   'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron
   will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab.
3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note
   that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself
   and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab.
   The default logfile file is the same as before:
   	syslog.conf:cron.*	/var/cron/log

22294149c1 Move "mount -a -t nfs" *after* network daemons,
must be at least after named & gated for proper name resolution.

73fadfbf72 /var/run is cleared on boot. Rerun 'ldconfig /usr/X386/lib' after
clearing /var/run if /sbin/ldconfig exists.

14f8bf93ec Added a new flag variable to /etc/netstart, $sendmail_flags, which
gives the flags to be passed to sendmail when it is started.  (If it is
"NO", sendmail is not started.)  Also, always start the portmapper regardless
of the value of $nfs_server; this should prevent the inetd complaints we
have seen from recurring.

8d8d996d59 Changed -r /fastboot to -e /fastboot. File just needs to exist for fastboot.
Otherwise, doesn't work for non-root owner of /fastboot.
