Problems in 3 Apr (i386) binaries:
date if current date is (is not) Standard Time (Daylight
Savings Time), changing the date and time to a
Daylight Savings Time (Standard Time) value causes
the time specified to be interpreted in the current
time which results in a one hour error in the desired
set time (e.g. setting your time FROM a current S.T.
ahead to a D.S.T. causes the time set to be 1 hour
later than the time specified). Perhaps this is a
"desired" (?) behaviour (my RTC died the day before
DST took effect or I would never have stumbled upon
this... ;-)
/etc/disktab first two of last three lines of "floppy5" should be
terminated with backslash
/etc/disktab eye beleave "Connor" shood bee "Conner" thruowt...
(I know the naming of the "core" file has been changed in the recent past.
As such, these next two comments may be exactly wrong... :(
/usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk "*.core" should be "core.*"
/usr/share/mk/bsd.prog.mk ditto
Documentation nits on which to pick:
who(1) "/var/run/wtmp" (2 times) should be "/var/log/wtmp"
users(1) "/etc/utmp" should be "/var/run/utmp"
banner(6) default width should be 132 instead of 80
termcap(5) incomplete sentence: "Number of lines on the"
termcap(5) "np" flag is not documented
27 Mar 1994 sources (sorry, haven't checked more recently):
/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/conf/{AHBTEST,BTTEST,UHATEST} all refer to the
second disk on wdc0 as "wd0" instead of "wd1" (it seems to have been fixed
everywhere else...
