RE: adduser(8) in 5.0-R
Wonderful, thank you too :) Another totally unrelated thing I'm a little unsure on is the default group ownerships of the /dev/ttyv? Devices under devfs. Some are owned by group tty, others by wheel. Is this correct/intended? It seems rather arbitrary. # ls -l ttyv? crw--- 1 root tty 12, 0 Jan 20 07:54 ttyv0 crw--- 1 root tty 12, 1 Jan 19 20:02 ttyv1 crw--- 1 root tty 12, 2 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv2 crw--- 1 root tty 12, 3 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv3 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 4 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv4 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 5 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv5 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 6 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv6 crw--- 1 root tty 12, 7 Jan 21 12:24 ttyv7 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 8 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv8 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 9 Jan 18 21:24 ttyv9 crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 10 Jan 18 21:24 ttyva crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 11 Jan 18 21:24 ttyvb crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 12 Jan 18 21:24 ttyvc crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 13 Jan 18 21:24 ttyvd crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 14 Jan 18 21:24 ttyve crw--- 1 root wheel 12, 15 Jan 18 21:24 ttyvf Yours, Robin > -Original Message- > From: Mike Makonnen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 12:12 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: adduser(8) in 5.0-R > > > Committed. > Thanks! > > -- > Mike Makonnen | GPG-KEY: http://www.identd.net/~mtm/mtm.asc > [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Fingerprint: D228 1A6F C64E 120A A1C9 A3AA > DAE1 E2AF DBCC 68B9 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

RE: adduser(8) in 5.0-R
Hmmm, it might be worth mentioning, since md5 is the default passwd hash, it's not infeasible that someone might choose "`rm -rf /`", or similar, as their passwd... Which would have somewhat unpleasant results since adduser runs as root. Shame this wasn't picked up before, it's such a little thing seems a shame to blemish errata with it :) Robin > -Original Message- > From: Mike Barcroft [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 1:55 PM > To: Mike Makonnen > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: adduser(8) in 5.0-R > > > Mike Makonnen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Committed. > > Thanks! > > Should this be an errata item? > > Best regards, > Mike Barcroft > To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

Heh, in the example I chose md5 isn't even required (I was thinking of it in terms of somebody meaningfully choosing a >8 char passwd). Robin To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I have cc'ed bmah, because I think it should be in the errata.
