>Description:
Installing a fresh machine with 4.4RC-1 iso.
The disklabel's [A]uto command automagically creates mount points.
1. Non of which has SoftUpdates on by default [beware the bikeshed]. 
2. No /tmp (or /var/tmp per tuning(7)).

something totaly different:
Why no snort in the packages from the ports tree?

No password validation when adding users?

When clicking "HTML documents" in the "Post Configuration" menu, lynx
is auto-installed. It whould be wiser, regarding lynx's long history of
security problems, to use other browser or at least get the user's confirmation.

On the "User Confirmation Requested" just before rebooting, i quote:
"Be sure to remove any floppies/CDROM from the drive". I can't remove
the CDROM as it's still mounted. How about "ejecting" it, or unmounting
on "yes" and giving the user 10-30 seconds to "eject the CDROM
manually"?

root password isn't set!!! I gave root password at the correct prompt,
but after the reboot I logged in with no "password:" prompt.

 The actual case was that after installing "costume install", the
 /etc/passwd and friends were unchanged. Meaning, no password for root,
 and users added during the install weren't there after reboot.
 /etc/passwd, /etc/groups, /etc/master.passwd and their binary
 friends were all defaulted.

Adding to audit trail manually by bugmeister:

 At least, the bug with the CDROM tray being locked persists as of
 2008.

State-Changed-Why:  

We need to review how disks are handled completely for 8.0 so for 
now I'm going to say the disk issues raised will need to be covered 
as part of that. 

Packages on the media have always been something of a moving target, 
snort just wasn't popular enough to make the cut. 

Password validation got added in r186183.  Being able to eject the 
media at the point sysinstall tells you to got added in r186131. 

I don't know when but the default html viewer became links and it 
is not automagically installed, the user needs to do it. 

I'm not sure how the root password was not being set but that appears 
to be fixed as well.
