For me, more often than not, the backgrounded syslogd daemon is not
yet ready to process log messages before other things (such as named)
want to log a heap of them. It seems that it's the O_SYNC writes of
the stuff coming in from /dev/klog that's the slowdown.
Anyway, instead of using the libc daemon, roll a modified version. This
one has a timeout. The child will wait for either the timeout to expire
or the child process to signal it to let it know that it's "ready" and
the /dev/log socket is set up and active, so it's safe to continue the
boot. It adds a small fraction of a second pause to the boot time, but on
the other hand the overall boot time is *quicker* since the disk is not
being thrashed while the log messages are getting written out synchronously
one by one while other daemons are loading in parallel.
The timeout is in case the child segfaults or something before becoming
fully operational.
SLIP/PPP devices, putting them before the others in the network device
selection menu.
2. Change "Other" to "URL" so as not to conflict with the keyboard accellerator
for the "OK" button in FTP site selection menu.
3. Detect the NULL last symbol in the name list and initialize the other
members correctly.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

have it check to see that it doesn't contain any '/' characters. This
prevents possible silliness like ypcat "../../../kernel". We already
test the domain name for this in yp_validdomain(), and ypserv itself
tests the map name in yp_open_db(), but it doesn't hurt to be paranoid
and test for it in the generic access routine too. rpc.ypxfrd does not
test the map name for slashes, but it does call yp_access() with the
map name, so this removes a potential vulnerability from there.
Also make the tests for IPPORT_RESERVED a little more selective: make
sure it trips when map == master.passwd.*, prog == YPPROC and proc ==
YPPROC_XFR, and prog == YPXFRD_FREEBSD_PROG and proc == YPXFRD_GETMAP.
Also use IPPORT_RESERVED instead of hard-coded value.

have to become fs.filesystemname.name_max, etc.).
Added missing references to user.stream_max and user.tzname_max. These
seem to misnamed. <sys/sysconf.h> says that they correspond to POSIX2
names, but the sysconf names don't have POSIX2 or "posix2" like all the
other POSIX2 names.

I really think the proper test is to determine which device has been configured
to be the console (remember the RB_SERIAL flag?) and use it instead of always
trying to open /dev/ttyv0 first.

I could find. This change does the following:
- s/usage()/break;/ in handling the -s switch.
- use err/warn instead of fprintf(stderr, ... strerror()); exit(1);
- implement Hitachi PUMA HitTablet support from the XFree86 code,
whatever the hell that is. :-)
- correctly implement baud rate setting, too much was cut from the
XFree86 code, the critical parts were a sweep over all likely
mouse powerup baud rates to switch it to the reqested rate.
- logitech support was busted (at least on mine, which is autosensing
and runs in either mmseries or logitech mode depending on the handshake
code at startup. Among other things, you talk to it at 1200, then
switch to the target baud later.
Some remaining problems.. samplerate setting is missing, but I've not
found where this is meant to be set yet. I presume this is resolution
setting of some kind.

- add ctm_conf.gnats from freefall
- add support for doing both the immediate mailout and the queued mailout.
- use "sendmail -odq -t" rather than "sendamil -t" to make it queue to
the mailqueue rather than immediately begin transmission. This allows
us to take advantage of our ordered dequeueing system without blowing
WC's T1 to hell with a 50 part mailout in parallel.
- bump the max ctm size from 3MB to 10MB.... This is mainly for the fast
list.
we actually look for the *group* and not the user's gid. user daemon
has traditionally been group 31 (guest).
Also clear out the groups vector so that it doesn't inherit the groups
of the invoking user (ever run rwhod by hand before?) Unfortunately, we
can't empty the supplemental groups list because the !&@^#! egid is stored
in there! :-(

files in /var/tmp. Sup needs to send the file size, so that
prevents running gzip in a pipeline (sigh).
It now opens a temporary file, and immediately unlinks it. It sends
gzip's output to the temp file, and when gzip is done, it rewinds the
file and sends it. When the last fd is closed, the file storage is
reclaimed. With luck, this will stop those 15MB
