Hi there,

1.
maybe it is after the release of FreeBSD-4.3 possible to think about the 
remaining mount_null in /etc/rc.diskless* again.

the two solutions i see are:
- seperate mount_mfs for /tmp
- symlink /tmp to /var/tmp by default in the scripts

2.
Another thing is that i want to run different local daemons depending on
the machines (ip's or hostnames), or machine groups
So what i thought is to add the same function as for /etc to /usr/local/etc,
maybe which the enhancement of grouping machines in a config file.
This might be also useful for global config of "normal" machines,
which then can be mirrored to all of them.

So my intention is to build clusters of www-server, mysql-server ...,
which boot from the same root fs, use the same /usr, /usr/local ...

wait for suggestions
thanks
regards
