The following reply was made to PR bin/6653; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Andre Albsmeier <andre.albsmeier@mchp.siemens.de> To: dom@myrddin.demon.co.uk Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: bin/6653: change to /etc/rc Date: Sat, 16 May 1998 16:13:41 +0200 (CEST) > >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. Same as in -STABLE. See also misc/4723. I was told that ports which create directories in /var/run are broken. However, nobody fixed the ports nor changed /etc/rc :-( (Yes, I sent a mail to the sudo port maintainer...)
