Note that just setting the shell to /sbin/nologin or /usr/bin/false,
which is a common solution for FTP only, does not work for SFTP only
because sshd(8) will spawn `$SHELL -c /usr/libexec/sftp-server`
when contacted by sftp(1).

Still a bad idea IMHO, but this has been discussed to death.

Please, don't bug the developers about that.
They have explained several times why their time
is better put elsewhere.
Please also note
blems with a custom kernel, most people won't
even try to help you because they assume you have just broken
your kernel.
As far as i understand config(8) and boot_config(8), you cannot
modify the swap device used by an existing kernel after typing
'boot -c' at the boot prompt or `config -e -o /bsd.new /bsd`
from the running system.

t least one of them commented on it, recently...
You will easily find their postings in the archives.
Jaye - thanks for your feedback on ATA vs. SCSI.
I was not aware my experience might no more be up to date.
If this is the case, i hope nobody will start a flame war about it.

vendors actually try and fix it, but it is expensive. ATA is
designed to be cheap. You can run a cheap system with a moderate
level of reliabilty using ATA, but don't expect much.

Hardly.
Maybe i shall be interested in the code once it is written.
Would you mind taking the whole thread
d enough without proper documentation.
This is not wrong, but you are flattering these Adaptec devices
more than they deserve.
> So use it at your own risk.
Rather, do not use it unless reliability is not an issue for
your purpose.
Hope that helps,
Ingo

P.S.
I would be rather surprised if your problem were related to any bug
in the pkg_* tools.

Hi Craig,

Well, no.
Look again at the output you posted:
# pkg_info -f gd-2.0.33p2.tgz | egrep "(depend|wantlib)"
@depend converters/libiconv:libiconv-*:libiconv-1.9.2p3
@depend graphics/jpeg:jpeg-*:jpeg-6bp3
@depend graphics/png:png-*:png-1.2.8
@wantlib c
ackaging problem.
In case this reply helps you, you were lucky enough to miss
a rather lengthy and boring thread discussing the dependency
of gd on X to death. It died about yesterday. ;-)
Yours,
Ingo

unlink(2) as needed. You might either install
this program SGID to a dedicated group or configure sudo in order
to run it. It depends on your particular task whether this
alternative is less error-prone, more to the point or just overkill.
In any case, all this is hardly OpenBSD specific.
