This works because of the following sed-fu in lang/go/Makefile:
post-install:
@${CAT} ${PKGMESSAGE} | ${SED} \
-e "s|%%PREFIX%%|${PREFIX}|g" \
-e "s|%%ARCH%%|${GOARCH}|g" \

> ===>>> pkg-message for go-20100413

It's probably preferable for lang/go to utilize SUB_FILES and
SUB_LIST instead of using ${SED} to manually expand VAR=VALUE pairs in
post-install. For context, see:

This is default behavior. From tunefs(8): -m minfree Specify the percentage of space held back from normal users; the minimum free space threshold. The default value used is 8%. Note that lowering the threshold can adversely affect perfor- mance: +o Settings of 5% and less force space optimization to always be used which will greatly increase the overhead for file writes. +o The file system's ability to avoid fragmentation will be reduced when the total free space, including the reserve, drops below 15%. As free space approaches zero, throughput can degrade by up to a factor of three over the performance obtained at a 10% threshold. Your df output suggests your minfree is set to the default 8%; to confirm this: % dumpfs /dev/ad0c | grep minfree | cut -f 1-2 -- Sahil Tandon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That is not the default behavior. From sendmail(1), which is the Postfix to Sendmail compatibility interface: newaliases Initialize the alias database. If no input file is specified (with the -oA option, see below), the program processes the file(s) specified with the alias_database configuration parame- ter. If no alias database type is specified, the program uses the type specified with the default_database_type configuration parameter. This mode of operation is implemented by running the postalias(1) command. % postconf -d | grep '^alias_' alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases So, the newaliases command should be modifying the alias database in /etc unless you changed this in your main.cf.

You can turn off the Sendmail daemon so that it does not actually listen for incoming connections or act as an MTA in the conventional sense.

Did you read the csh(1) man page?
setenv [name [value]]
Without arguments, prints the names and values of all environment
variables. Given name, sets the environment variable name to value or,
