FreeBSD-4.1-RELEASE
(1) In rc.diskless1: when a ramdisk is mounted onto /conf/etc, the
mountpoint becomes mode 1777. As a result, once it has been null-mounted
onto /etc, /etc has mode 1777.
This is reported by sendmail as not being very secure:
sendmail[207]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): hash map "Alias0": unsafe map file
/etc/aliases.db: World writable directory
(2) In rc.diskless2: some directories are missing
/var/at/jobs -- atrun complains every 5 minutes
/var/log -- syslogd complains (although arguably you should change
syslogd to log to a remote host anyway)
