hello
i just want to ask around for pros's and con's of the following things
i plan to commit:
* /usr/bin/newsyslog - this automates the "rotation" of the log files
and can replace our "rotation by hand" in the
/etc/[daily,weekly,monthly] scripts - it is invoked via cron each our
(the entry is there - but we don't have a newsyslog) and can be
configured via a /etc/newsyslog.conf file (where you may adjust how
often and/or after which size the files should be rotated, how many
old versions should be keeped and if they should be compressed using gzip)
this would include the adaption of the /etc/[daily, ...] scripts
(taken from NetBSD)
* /usr/sbin/spray and /usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd (both from NetBSD)
this would include the adaption of the /etc/inetd.conf (rpc.sprayd)
NAME
spray - send many packets to host
SYNOPSIS
spray [-c count] [-d delay] [-l length] host ...
DESCRIPTION
Spray sends multiple RPC packets to host and records how many of
them were correctly received and how long it took.
Spray is intended for use in network testing, measurement, and
management. This command can be very hard on a network and should be
used with caution.
NAME
sprayd, rpc.sprayd - spray server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/rpc.sprayd
DESCRIPTION
rpc.sprayd is a server which records packets sent by the spray(1)
command and sends a traffic report to the originator of the
packets. The rpc.sprayd daemon is normally invoked by inetd(8).
rpc.sprayd uses an RPC protocol defined in /usr/include/rpcsvc/spray.x.
* /usr/bin/quota and /usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad (both from NetBSD)
this would include the adaption of the /etc/inetd.conf (rpc.rquotad)
(i think i'll have to check also quota - because it seems that it
doesn't support asking nfs mounts via rquota - i want to get the
NetBSD quota to compare now)
NAME
rquotad, rpc.rquotad - remote quota server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/libexec/rpc.rquotad
DESCRIPTION
rpc.rquotad is a rpc(3) server which returns quotas for a user of
a local filesystem which is NFS-mounted onto a remote
machine. quota(1) uses the results to display user quotas for remote
filesystems. rpc.rquotad is normally invoked by inetd(8).
rpc.rquotad uses an RPC protocol defined in
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.x.
* /etc/rc.i386 and /usr/bin/ibcs2 - some slight cosmetic changes they
change the output for instance from:
--- +++ ---
enabling FreeBSD/i386 options: ibcs2 emulator installed
coff loader installed
socksys driver installed
configuring syscons:
[kbdcontrol: keymap]
screensaver: blank screen saver installed
.
--- +++ ---
to (the i think a bit better and more organized looking):
--- +++ ---
enabling FreeBSD/i386 options:
loading iBCS2 emulation:
* ibcs2 emulator installed
* coff loader installed
* socksys driver installed
configuring syscons:
* kbdcontrol: keymap
* screensaver: blank screen saver installed
done
--- +++ ---
all the other things are also adapted equivalent (i only did it here
for 2.1.0 - thus things like the linux-script will be changed as well
for -current)
* maybe i'll add some sysconfig/rc.i386 stuff for the pcvt configuration
(maybe with joerg - joerg - are you there :-)
is there someone against these ideas ? - any testers/reviewers ?
