>Description:
If there are directories in the /var/run directory (eg: as used by the
sudo and xemacs ports), then the line in /etc/rc that says:
rm -f /var/run/*
Produces an error on boot up time, which could confuse a new user.
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install sudo.
2. Use sudo.
3. Reboot.
>Fix:
Change the above mentioned line to:
rm -f /var/run/* 2>/dev/null
You may also wish to add the following statement to a point after which
/usr is mounted:
find /var/run -type f -print | xargs rm -f
