--VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi folks, I have did a preliminary work on ISC-cron 4.1 for FreeBSD. I have noticed that: - Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have cron and friends based on cron 3.0 with some respective local modifications. - OpenBSD has adopted ISC cron 4.0b1 in early 2001. After that, they have did several security and stablity related improvements that IMO is valuable for us, too. - There are some minor bugs in FreeBSD's cron that should be fixed. (e.g. having */0 in crontab will cause a local DoS, crontab does not remove temp files when it is abnormally terminated, etc.) I have Google'd the mailing list and found no discussion explaining why we have not upgraded our cron and friends. Is there any discussion I have missed? In other words, should I make these work a port, or a diff against src/, when I have finished the whole thing? /* POLA will be respected :-) */ Thanks in advance!
