I have a suggestion for the FreeBSD maintainers. In /bin/login, please don't check for mail when the user is root. And in the case that the mail filesystem is mounted via NFS from a non-responding server, it hangs root logins.
Root logins on machine A should never ever ever require machine B to be up. Rahul P.S. Patch on request, but it's too trivial to submit as one. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
