 This is a problem with unpriviliged build.  This should be at least
 partially adressed in -current with the following commit, which should
 be pulled up, I guess:
 
 Module Name:    src
 Committed By:   uwe
 Date:           Sat Nov 17 23:08:38 UTC 2012
 
 Modified Files:
         src/etc/root: Makefile
 
 Log Message:
 We don't need to include <bsd.prog.mk> to install a few config files
 just <bsd.files.mk> and <bsd.links.mk> is enough.
 
 Noticed because <bsd.prog.mk> sets LINKSMODE to BINMODE and that does
 the wrong thing at least for unprivileged builds.
 
 
 To generate a diff of this commit:
 cvs rdiff -u -r1.3 -r1.4 src/etc/root/Makefile
 
 
 I don't remember details about the second part of the problem,
 something about handling of hardlinks in unpriv builds. Looking at a
 fresh current build I see that /.cshrc and /root/.cshrc are hardlinks,
 but they have different modes in the metalog - /.cshrc is 0444,
 /root/.cshrc 0644.  IIRC, Joerg should know more.
