hi, here is a list of bugs/misfeatures found while operating a diskless 2.1 box (and 2.0.5 box as well): - the /etc/security checks filesystems of type ufs for set[ug]id files. so, you get list of your environmental variables in report (`set $MP' line should check for MP being non-empty) - /etc/weekly wouldn't run makewhatis if /usr is read-only. minor: - the /etc/netstart runs routed or gated if requested. the problem it is executed before mount, so they cannot be started (yes, my router is diskless 486 4Mb machine with sendmail, bind and gated on it). (perhaps I can just statically link them) same problem with /usr/sbin/sysctl (should go to /sbin) btw, is it possible to convert shared executable to static one? (this can help to resolve this) I also propose adding rarpdflags to /etc/sysconfig (I have the following in mine): +# Set to appropriate flags for rarpd, if you intend to serve +# Reverse ARP requests from diskless clients. Note that tftpd and bootpd +# should be configured too. +#rarpdflags="-a" +rarpdflags="NO"
