>Description:
The daily insecurity script appears to expect /etc/rc.d/xdm and /etc/rc.d/xfs 
to exist unconditionally. Unfortunately these two files are conditionally 
installed.



>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD 5.0_RC2 and choose not to install the X11 sets. Your daily 
insecurity report will now say 

  Checking special files and directories.
  missing: ./etc/rc.d/xdm
  missing: ./etc/rc.d/xfs

every night.
>Fix:
Add the "optional" tag to /etc/mtree/special for these two files.
