When looking through some /etc/rc files the other day, I noticed that /etc/rc.diskless2 picks up entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf and uses 'touch' to create them. With all the other changes I have made and plan to make, this is not a good idea. In fact, it was already a bad idea because it won't get owner, group, or permissions set right. I have an update in: http://people.freebsd.org/~gad/newsyslog/create-opt.diff which implements a '-C' option for newyslog. Once this is committed, /etc/rc.diskless2 should be changed to use it. The update also adds a a 'C' flag for the config file entries, to match an option that NetBSD has. Please pay close attention to the new createlog() routine, as a later update will switch to using that for all logfile creations. My goal was to eliminate all windows in the create of a new log file. This (once I do it) should complete the job started in revision 1.41 (committed in april 2002). -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
