If you are not root, prompts for sudo(8) credentials. Script re-executes itself automatically via sudo(8). Preserves command-line arguments. /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/incl/strings.incl Provides the following functions for string manipulation and et cetera: - f_substr() - f_longest_line_length() - f_number_of_lines() /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/incl/sysrc.incl Provides the following functions for managing rc.conf(5) settings: - f_clean_env() - f_sysrc_get() - f_sysrc_find() - f_sysrc_set() - f_sysrc_delete() NOTE: The sysrc.incl module should make authoring the "startup" module pret= ty easy (compared to without it). I'm looking forward to writing that modul= e before next weekend. In addition, bsdconfig itself now uses the "mustberoot.incl" include, meani= ng that any of the following commands can now work as non-root (so long as = sudo(8) is installed and your account has access to use it; HINT: pkg_add -= r sudo && pw usermod myusername -G wheel). bsdconfig bsdconfig networking /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/120.networking/networking bsdconfig networking -X /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/120.networking/networking -X bsdconfig timezone /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/090.time-zone/timezone bsdconfig timezone -X /usr/libexec/bsdconfig/090.time-zone/timezone -X eliminating the need to either (a) use sudo(8) or (b) use su(1) to become r= oot first. All the above commands will work as non-root user if sudo(8) is = installed and the current user is granted access. NOTE: The "-X" options now automatically work via SSH as I've incorporated = the xauth(1) session management into the "mustberoot.incl" include (auto-en= ables if-and-only-if both $SSH_CONNECTION and $DISPLAY are set). Other changes include - expanding the f_die() function in the "common.incl" include to take a pri= ntf(1) syntax. - optimized bsdconfig INDEX scanning for usage statement (changed a "cat | = grep | sed | sed" into a single "awk") - cleaned up "networking" further (formerly "host-setup" from ports tree in= sysutils), removing "reset_shell" and ilk That's all for now.
