   sysinst isn't something i know all that much about.  i do, however,
   know how i want my machines to behave, so i check all sorts of things
   and tweak stuff manually all the time.  as to what sysinst does, or
   how much it should or should not, i can't say.


the problem is that /etc/daily, /etc/security, etc., used to all
"just work" for a default install.  since sendmail was upgraded
a while ago that hasn't been the case.  something needs to be
done by hand to make this work...

ie, you broke a feature of netbsd ... do you not consider that
to be a problem?
