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)

Regards,

Brian Candler.
