it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version.
* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
possibility of accidentally overwriting something other
than a regular file.
it can be used to reseed at boot time. This will greatly increase
the chances that there will be sufficient entropy available at
boot time to prevent long delays.
For /etc/rc, remove the vmstat and iostat runs from the attempt
to provide some cheesy randomness if the files fail, since
those programs are dynamically linked, and ldd seems to want
some randomness to do its magic.
Guidance and parameters for this project were provided by
Mark Murray, based on the requirements of the Yarrow
algorithm. Some helpful suggestions for implementation
(including the tip about iostat and vmstat) were provided
by Sheldon Hearn. All blame for problems or mistakes is
mine of course.
PADI packet contains a NULL service. This is apparently the desired
behaviour in this case, though we only allow advertising one
service. You could run multiple pppoeds to advertise multiple services.
files. Mostly -I${.CURDIR} was needed -- especially for YACC generated
files as the new cpp does not look in the ultimate source file
(ie, the .y file)'s directory as told by the "#line" directive. Some were
misspellings of "-I${.CURDIR}" as "-I.".
The function's callers generate the error message when appropriate.
This eliminates the message ``Undefined symbol "__register_frame_info"''
which was bogusly returned by dlerror() in some cases.
with telnetd. This should really be done with a positive filter - i.e.
only allow through a configured list of variables.
Also do some buffer-safety cleanups while I'm here - I don't think these
are exploitable.

PAM modules. rlogind calls login(1) which is already PAM enabled.

o Allow ``-n ngdebug'' to specify something to pass to NgSetDebug()
and redirect NgSetDebug() output to syslog(8) in daemon() mode.
o Xref ng_ether(8) and NgSetDebug(4).
o Correct the type of the response passed to NgRecvData.
