: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.

You should be able to fix this trivially in /etc/login.conf. Look
at the standard: entry's setenv for MAIL and do something similar for
root's, pointing MAIL somewhere else. I haven't tried this myself,
but it should work.
