Do not attempt to copy a larger partition onto a smaller one.
Backup of non-ffs root partitions was never supported, so don't even try.
(Both of the above suggested by guenther@).
Also add error messages in case ROOTBACKUP is switched on but severely
misconfigured - those were silently ignored in the past:
/altroot not defined or wrong type or on the same device as root.
otto@ agrees that checking the sizes makes sense

crontab(1) does.
ok miod@

and mention this in the Makefile so that this hopefully doesn't get broken
next time the size is modified. Repairs install45.iso.

Add a new user _rwalld for rpc.rwalld, and use that instead
of nobody, also unconditionally drop to _rwalld not only
if rpc.rwalld was started with euid 0 (as root).

machinery minimally cope with this.
Discussed with and reluctantely accepted by deraadt@; we both dislike
losing the ``naturally comes out of your fingers'' kernel names and the
``one size fits all'' logic; but for now I don't see any easy way to
get a single kernel binary able to run on multiple IP## flavours.

the first query we will never do the settime because
SENSOR_QUERY_INTERVAL (30s) is greater than SETTIME_TIMEOUT (15s).  so
during the settime period only, be more aggressive and use
SETTIME_TIMEOUT/3 for the query interval.

ridiculous; xdm is totally broken since it never starts anything which resembles
a "login shell".  As a result, no configuration is brought into a process
context to give to future xterms or *sh shells and thus cause them to run their
.profile or .kshrc or such a thing, to get futher configuration.  Therefore
people are left with a totally bland unconfigured Unix environment in their
xterms, and don't know how to change this since .profile is ignored.  This
problem shows hundreds of thousands of google hits.  xdm is fundamentally
broken, but we must solve this also for the startx methods, too, and for people
running csh.  It is clear that .xsession is not a solution to this problem at
all (that is, assuming the people who suggest such a thing really mean a
.xsession file with the execute bit set).  This now becomes the recommended
way for new users to get out of this stupid situation; if someone does not
like it they can change it or delete it.  Few will.  Just watch.
