The following pertains to Alecto, a just-updated 7.2B vs2 with
services ops, discuss and nfs.
The cleanup script is putting errors in the console window (which, by
the way, I can't find logged anywhere...) and I don't think they
should be there. They are of the form:
cleanup: Couldn't get hesinfo for uid ####, error 1.
For each line, the "####" above was one of several uids which don't
show up in Hesiod, but are in the password file. It looks like each
Moiraless passwd file line caused a separate error. (There are many
on Alecto with the same uid.) Since putting Moiraless users in
/etc/passwd is standard practice for local accounts, and has other
uses as well, I recommend this error be silenced.

On a different topic, qjb mentioned he re-partitioned his disk 0 with
minidisk, but df showed that the root hadn't changed size. That means
the root was never newfs'd *after* a reboot followed the minidisk. If
either the newfs was never done, or if it was done before the next
reboot, the filesystem size wouldn't match the minidisk size.
