misfeature caused troubles when a program attempted to access a shlib
where one with a higher minor number has been hashed. Ldconfig does
only include the highest-numbered shlib anyway, so this is in no way a
limitation of generality.
Caution: after installing the new programs, your /var/run/ld.so.hints
needs to be rebuiult; run ldconfig again as it's done from /etc/rc.
We have only one firewall chain and one accounting chain now.
No blocking/forwarding so commands changed.
Man pages are somewhat out of date and will be updated ASAP.
- The -a flag now works just as it does in SunOS: '-a' is actually
handled like a wildcard for all interfaces. 'ifconfig -a' displays
the status of all interfaces, 'ifconfig -a netmask 0xffffff00' sets
the netmask of all interfaces, and so forth. I don't know if many
people really need to be able to set the netmasks of all interfaces
at once, but the SunOS ifconfig seems to allow this, so there you
have it.
- An 'ether_status' function has been added to display the ethernet
address of all ethernet interfaces. Again, as in SunOS, you must
be root in order for this to work. The ethernet address is read
from /dev/kmem using kvm_open() and kvm_read(), much in the same
was as it's done with netstat. If you choose to install ifconfig
set-gid kmem then normal users will be able to see the ethernet
address as well, though this may not be desireable. This feature
requires a small change to the ifconfig Makefile: you need to link
with -lkvm in order to use the kvm_*() functions.

In FreeBSD 2.0 (and therefore, I assume, BSD 4.4) the exit code of ping

Added a F_BUTTON type.
Fixed up label editor to show free space properly.
Fixed a few bugs.

struct lfs.
sovs@diku.dk:
The pad2 field in struct lfs is a kludge. You
need it because the raw devices has to be written in DEV_BSIZE. The
lfs_maxsymlinklen is needed because the tells the UFS code that we
want to use 4.4BSD directory layout insted of FreeBSD 1.1.5.

1. Don't use kernel name for headers - I'm running 2.0.1-Development,

2. The last dialog was too big, make it a little smaller. Just cosmetic,

Stopped using cleartoeol in AskEm(), just as a test to see if the screen

Added a attempted auto-recognition of /, swap and /usr for the first disk

Made a "ShowFile()" which will not bomb/ignore you if the file isn't there.
/sbin/umount does not return the correct exit status due to incorrect
logic in its internals.
Further, because of the nature of the code, you *cannot* use it to
umount a directory from a union mountpoint. Well, you can sometimes,
it depends on if the directory is at the top of the union stack or not :)

most common cd9660 and nfs options like God intended them. (It is now
possible to say
mount -o ro,soft,bg,intr there:/foo/bar /foo/bar
again.) This whole getmntopt() business is an incredible botch;
it never should have been anything more than a wrapper around
getsubopt(3). Because if the way the current hackaround is implemented,
options which take arguments (like the old `rsize' and `wsize') are still
unavailable, and must be accessed the new, broken way.
(It's unimaginable how Berkeley managed to screw up one of the few things
about NFS that Sun actually got right to begin with!)
I have walked all over Paul Richards code again, and severely lobotomized
some of his stuff, in order to cut some corners for the 2.0-Alpha release.
I belive that we can now manipulate fdisk and disklabel-stuff sufficiently
for the release to actually be produced.
It's not that I don't like Paul and his code, I just need something I
can kick out of the door RSN.
Sysinstall is now under absolute code-freeze, only Jordan has my permission
to commit to this code (stage0 & 5). I would appreciate if everybody
else would finds problems in sysinstall send patches to me, and I will
commit them. THANKYOU.
The fdisk/disklabel editors are made in pure ncurses, and follow a model
"a`la spreadsheet".
There are some important functions which are missing still, and I would
appreciate if somebody would look at them.
The FDISK part needs a "whole-disk" option, and it needs a "rewrite
MBR-boot code" option.
The DISKLABEL part needs to be able to "import DOS-partition".
Both need a "HELP" function, (display a file "/HELP" using dialog is OK).
It seems to me like the wd.c and sd.c should reread the physical record
when a DIOCGDINFO is made, so that they can pick up changes in the
MBR-data. Otherwise there will be a couple of weird cases where we
cannot avoid replicating code from the kernel.
If you want to play with this, look at src/release/Makefile. You may need
to step back to version 1.38 of sys/i386/isa/fd.c to make "rootable"
floppies, it is not clear at this time if that indeed is the problem I
have been having.
Sleep well, my friends, and expect the real Alpha in 24H, if the tree is

Skip through stage0 for now.
Make write_bootblocks write the disklabel using the kernel-call, and forget
about the boot-blocks for now. This is wrong, but I havn't found the real
problem yet. I will continue work on this problem.
Added a Debug-feature. There is a printf' like Debug() now which sends its
output to ttyv1 (Alt-F2), and all "discarded output" from sub-processes end
up there too. Made TellEm() put it's messages there also, so that we can
see where what happens.
Set the PATH for the shell we shouldn't start at the end :-)

an array. The bug became obvious in the old system where the array was only
32 characters long (now MAXPATHLEN). Dump honored its name then (:-)
and dumped its core when calling dump -w for a fstab that contained rather long
NFS file system names. Even though this is rather unlikely to happen now,
a bug is a bug:)
Print out summary information on receipt of SIGINFO; also, stop the
kernel printing of information and restore it on exit. Now, it needs
an option to be quiet. ;)
All the mbr code now seems to be working. We can build a basic
unix disklabel in any existing DOS partition while retaining the
existing mbr bootcode or we can install to the whole disk which
puts FreeBSD's boot code into the MBR and creates a clean MBR
partition table with FreeBSD in partition 0 taking up the whole disk.
