The -DNOCRYPT build option still exists for anyone who really wants to build non-cryptographic binaries, but the "crypto" release distribution is now part of "base", and anyone installing from a release will get cryptographic binaries.

| | | | | | | | mostly used on 80x25 displays, and the actual window is about ten characters narrower than that, resulting in the need for horizontal scrolling. No functional change. RELENG_5_2 candidate.
* Add a Securelevel sub-menu to the Security configuration menu,rwatson2003-11-291-0/+36
| | | | | | | | | | | | | permitting the administrator to select a securelevel top operate at. Include a helpfile summarizing some of the information from init(8). This allows for explicit configuration of securelevels, which was previously implicit in Security Profile selection. Currently, there are no checkboxes for the active securelevel, because sysinstall's facilities for deriving "current settings" from rc.conf may use only one variable, not two, and I opted for the simplest approach at this point.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | selection is used to drive two configuration parameters: (1) Default enable/disable for sshd (2) Default enable/disable for securelevels Replace this with an explicit choice to enable/disable sshd. A follow-up commit will add a configuration option to the Security post-install configuration menu to set the securelevel in rc.conf explicitly. This should reduce the level of foot-shooting associated with accidental enabling of securelevels, make the nature and implications of the securelevel configuration options more explicit, as well as make the choice to enable/disable sshd more explicit.

* Don't use UFS2 by default during the install process on PC98, as therwatson2003-04-211-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | PC98 boot blocks don't support UFS2. We keep newfs(8) defaulting to UFS2. Warn users that FreeBSD can only boot from a root file system smaller than 1.5TB; hopefully this will get fixed by the patches currently floating around on -CURRENT. Reviewed by: nyan
* Throw the switch--change to UFS2 as our default file system format forrwatson2003-04-201-10/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE and later: - newfs(8) will now create UFS2 file systems unless UFS1 is specifically requested (-O1). To do this, I just twiddled the Oflag default. - sysinstall(8) will now select UFS2 as the default layout for new file systems unless specifically requested (use '1' and '2' to change the file system layout in the disk labeler). To do this, I inverted the ufs2 flag into a ufs1 flag, since ufs2 is now the default and ufs1 is the edge case. There's a slight semantic change in the key behavior: '2' no longer toggles, it changes the selection to UFS2. This is very similar to a patch David O'Brien sent me at one point, and that I couldn't find. Approved by: re (telecon) Reviewed by: mckusick, phk, bmah

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | editor, in order to support specifying UFS2 as a newfs option. (1) Support three different newfs types: NEWFS_UFS, NEWFS_MSDOS, and NEWFS_CUSTOM. Don't mix up the arguments to them: you can't use soft updates on an msdos file system. (2) Distinguish adding new arguments to the newfs command line from replacing it. Permit the addition of new arguments by the user for NEWFS_UFS. If we entirely replace the command line provided by sysinstall, call it NEWFS_CUSTOM. 'N' will now add additional arguments; 'Z' will opt to replace the newfs command line entirely, but will prompt the user with their current command line as a starting point. (3) Construct the newfs command line dynamically based on the options provided by the user at label-time. Right now, this means selecting UFS1 vs. UFS2, and the soft updates flag. Drop in some variables to support ACLs and MAC Multilabel in the future also, but don't expose them now. This provides sysinstall with the ability to do more "in band" editing of the newfs command line, so we can provide more support for the user, but doesn't sacrifice the ability to entirely specify the newfs command line of the user is willing to give up on the cushiness factor. It also makes it easier for us to specify defaults in the future, and define conditional behavior based on user configuration selections. For now, we default to UFS1, and permit UFS2 to be used as the root only on non-i386 systems. While I was there, I dropped the default fragment and block sizes, since newfs has much more sensible defaults now. Reviewed by: jhb, marcel Approved by: re ia64 bits from: marcel
* o Expand the text describing the Security options menu.rwatson2001-12-211-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Move nfs_reserved_port_only out of security profiles (where it was set somewhat improperly) to the Security options menu directly. Previously, the variable was set to true for Moderate, but not for Extreme, which is at best inconsistent. o Update the Security Profiles help file to remove reference to the NFS reserved port. o Note that the kernel currently defaults the sysctl to '0', but sysinstall has changed it to '1' as a default as of late; however, rc.conf sets the value to NO as the default. This change brings them relatively into sync. Sponsored by: DARPA, NAI Labs

Update the help file to reflect this change. o Rename "Fascist" to "Extreme" in the source code, to match the names presented to the user. o Remove portmap and inetd from profile management. Portmap is now disabled by default, but automatically turned on if a feature requires it (such as NFS, etc). This is an MFC candidate for 4.4-RELEASE.
