The last version expected elvis* files in /var/tmp, while elvis puts
elv* files there.
back editor!
Add nvi recovery precedure from man page.
Fix ntpdate echo lines so that it looks pretty (ntpdate spits out 1 line
of output that makes the system boot up look real ugly if you do it
echo -n, so I chaged it to echo, and then added a
echo -n 'starting more network daemons:' so any addition daemon starts
look normal.

Update of /b/source/CVS/src/etc
In directory sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu:/usr/src/etc
Modified Files:
master.passwd
Log Message:

Use freefall.cf as sendmail prototype file, it is more realistic than the
tcpproto.cf file for a FreBSD system. Fix so that obj dir is created in
sendmail/cf/cf as to not polute the source tree and to have the Makefile
in there do the right things.
Remove all the extra /dev/fd0?* entries on the floppies, they where using
up all the inodes and are not needed at this time.
Temporarily remove the floppy target from release: untilit is
fixed.
This file has lots more work coming, but to get the 1.1 BETA out I am
going to hand craft the floppies :-(.
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

This uses xargs instead. My slip line's down so I can't check it in
at the moment. Rich
added a note that you must decide what is appropriate for your system.

I've finally figured out (one of the reasons) why I can't run MS-Windows
after running FreeBSD 1.0...*sometimes*.
Here's your first clue. This is what your MS-Windows video drivers are called
if you run a Number 9 GXE video card:
/dos/windows/system/#9gxetc.drv
/dos/windows/system/#9gxe.drv
