 Hi,
 
 i was wondering if the limitations that are supposed to be enforced via
 the login.conf mechanism do really work...
 
 In particular, i have tried (on 3.1 something, but don't think that
 current is much different in this respect) to enforce the daily etc.
 login times but the system seems to ignore them.
 
 I think /etc/login.conf is properly parsed, because if i assign a user
 to a class that is not defined in login.conf i get complaints, but
 other than that i am unable to limit login time...
 
 Any hints ?

That's also my impression. I glipmsed the whole source tree and I 
  couldn't
find any place where the limits are enforced. BTW. what entity should
enforce login time limits? Kernel? Some user-space daemon?

  
  To report a login.conf success, i've used on a 2.2.8 system the
  cputime ressource limit. I set it to zero and that worked very
  well. So may be only some limits are implemented ?
  
 
 If you'd like to see where the ones which are implemented are implemented, 
 look at the process
 context-switch routines in the kernel. Not having checked, but guessing, I 
 bet login reads
 login.conf as a db and uses the values to set rlimits, which is where they 
 would be set.

Some of it works, and some doesn't some is implemented in login, other
parts are in init..

  I always thought the criteria for inclusion of things into the base
  system was:
  
  1.  Needed for 'make world';
  2.  Needed to get a basic functioning server up and running;
  3.  Something usefull only within FreeBSD (like the kernel ;), or
  4.  Can't be effectively built outside of /usr/src.
  
  If {g77|f77} can be built as a port, using the system EGCS, then to
  port's it goes.  Otherwise why don't we include the Top 20 ports, or
  maybe the Top 25, or...
 
 The criteria for adding something to the base system is different
 than the criteria for removing something from it.  In both cases,
 it requires compelling reasons to change the status quo.
 
 Replacing an existing component is somewhat easier, particularly
 if backwards compatability is retained.  I may be mistaken, but I
 believe the current discussion is whether or not to replace f77
 with g77.


Didn't we just have this discussion a few months ago???
just put it in the tree already ;)

  Me, I'd rather have Fortran as a port. I'd even grudgingly accept
  fortune as a port, as a matter of fact. Our base system is bloated.
  While a lot of widely used programs are only available through
  ports, a lot of obscure and obsolete stuff remains on our tree. They
  are there because of 5. As long as 5 exists, Fortran belongs in the
  tree. If we ever get rid of 5, then it's time to get the knife to
  our tree... Or the axe, if the vikings decide to have the first cut.
  :-)
 
 
 Whelp... I vote to break tradition.  Hack away...The installer takes
 care of alot of stuff like ports installs.  Perhaps different standard
 setups could be configured as ports.  Ie.  'bloated setup' would require
 all the ports which are currently included.
 
 'Server setup' port wouldn't have any Client stuff.
 
 'Desktop' could install a 'nicer' windomanager (kde? gnome?) for teh user,
 and be pre-setup to start xdm, etc.
 
 The installer can currently install packages, so reworking those 'system
 install options' to fit simpler naming convention than 'Kernel Hacker, X
 user, X+ source, etc.' may be appropriate.
 
 I know.. lots of talk and no action.  Oh well... my thoughts :)

 Really?
 
 The pgcc web page (goof.com/pcg) lead me to believe that there were a few

pgcc isn't the same as egcs the current -mpentiumpro and -mpentiumarch

 Alternately, we could jimmy around with the current hack, and prefix it
 with 4 NULs, and see what happened.  Sorry, I haven't tested this idea, as
 I've not yet made the EGCS jump.
 
 egcs aligns long (= about 28 bytes) strings to 32-byte boundaries.  This
 adds up to 27 NULs to sccsid[] depending on the alignment of sccsidp[].
 
 Aligning long strings to 32-byte boundaries is a pessimisation in kernels
 (because it makes poor locality poorer), especially on 486's where the
 cache line size is 16.

not aligning data is extremely expensive on PII's
