Having used bsdinstall to make a USB3 SSD on a RPi4B (zfs-on-root, GPT parition, RPi4B materials copied copied to msdos file system), booting gets error notices: newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/all.log 600 7 * @T00 J newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/auth.log 600 7 1000 @0101T JC newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/daily.log 640 7 * @T00 JN newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/maillog 640 7 * @T00 JC newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/messages 644 5 1000 @0101T JC newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/utx.log 644 3 * @01T05 B newsyslog: malformed 'at' value: /var/log/daemon.log 644 5 1000 @0101T JC It is apparently complaining about some of the content in: # more /etc/newsyslog.conf # configuration file for newsyslog # $FreeBSD$ # # Entries which do not specify the '/pid_file' field will cause the # syslogd process to be signalled when that log file is rotated. This # action is only appropriate for log files which are written to by the # syslogd process (ie, files listed in /etc/syslog.conf). If there # is no process which needs to be signalled when a given log file is # rotated, then the entry for that file should include the 'N' flag. # # Note: some sites will want to select more restrictive protections than = the # defaults. In particular, it may be desirable to switch many of the = 644 # entries to 640 or 600. For example, some sites will consider the # contents of maillog, messages, and lpd-errs to be confidential.
