System: NetBSD duncan.mcs.vuw.ac.nz 1.3 NetBSD 1.3 (HINOTE) #13: Sat Jan 10 22:46:14 PST 1998 duncan@duncan.mcs.vuw.ac.nz:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/HINOTE i386


>Description:

A NetBSD 1.2G system that I have has /etc/rc with the following RCS id

	$NetBSD: rc,v 1.78 1997/06/12 15:18:58 mrg Exp $

The 1.3 system I have just installed has /etc/rc with

	$NetBSD: rc,v 1.95.2.2 1997/11/28 19:52:48 mellon Exp $

The older version has functionality that the newer one doesn't have -- in
particular the ldconfig command is invoked with the contents of /etc/ld.so.conf
as arguments.

Note that both 1.2G and 1.3 have manual pages describing ld.so.conf, so if
this functionality was intentionally removed, the man page should go as well.

>How-To-Repeat:

Inspection of NetBSD 1.3 /etc/rc

>Fix:

Either remove the man page for ld.so.conf, or reinstate the 1.2G functionality.
