The problem with having it enable is that lastlog grows big, none
of the current scripts deal with rotation of /var/log/lastlog,
so it shouldn't necessary be installed at first. This has traditionally
been something the sysadmin has had to touch after system installations.
Nate:
(Besides, you're forced to learn more about the system by reading the man
pages if it doesn't exist. :-)
reinitialized between while loops. Added comments about what was going
on in the out_fdc routine.
out_fdc now returns if the direction bit is not set in time instead of
trying to wait for MRQ to get cleared.
3 of the 4 needed floppies for FreeBSD.
Still need to do kc-bt-floppy for the Bustek/Ultrastore controllers.
Fixed installation of boot blocks in distribution:, now use a variable
(${MDEC}) instead of a find so that my zzz files don't end up in
the distribution!
left intact.
Simplified variables for drivename, drivetype, and sect_fwd.
Added rotdelay to newfs commands (defaults to newfs default except
for scsi disks where it defaults to 0).
Made the disk geometry questions more like what PC users are use to
reading (cylinders/heads/sectors).
Added minswap requirement of 8MB, recomendation of 2 x physical memory.
Added messages about what the blocking factor does.
Added message for mount point to NOT include the leading /
How to change disklabel to /sbin/disklabel due to bug in our /bin/sh,
I thought this has been fixed, but it has not!
Changed to use cpio instead of tar, since tar seems so brain dead.
Removed kernfs reference from /etc/fstab creation since FreeBSD does not
have the kernfs. Made /etc/fstab tabbed so it looks pretty :-).
Added default of floppy drive 0 after we boot from hard disk.
Fixed path in inst1.profile, removed /usr/local/bin, /usr/contrib/bin and .
I posted some patches on the 386bsd_patchkit list to prohibit io access.
Because of a noninitialised filed in the tss, this was possible.
It is included below as the patch to machdep.c
However, when you do this *necessary* fix (security), it will be
impossible form within user space to do io.
therefor, I included another fix: when you open /dev/io, you
get the access. Of course you can rewrite it to use another minor
and thus giving access to the iospace when /dev/mem is opened, e.g.
NOTE: The /dev/io entry has not been added to /dev/MAKEDEV yet.
The patch is in NetBSD.
I submitted the part of patch00155 that fixes wd.c not reporting any
bad blocks. Unfortunately, the patch created a new problem that makes new
installations using that kernel impossible. I have included a patch below that
should fix both problems. The fix comes from Tom Ivar Helbekkmo's wd driver
(the Norway wd driver). I've also eliminated the use of the DKFL_QUIET flag
completely, since it is not used anymore.
Fixed wdgetctrl routines for so that it returns a meaniful string for
non IDE disk drives. It also nolonger returns success when a drive is
not really there.
