This isn't a real big deal, but I've been getting curious...
On this ESIX system, whenever anyone logs in on a serial port, they
always get the messages:
Bad Hertz Value
Using 100 from (sys/param.h)
This doesn't seem to hurt anything, but it's a bit annoying. I've
tried to track it down, but so far I've gotten no hint as to who might
be generating these messages. Does anyone have a clue as to who is
complaining, and what they might be complaining about?

Also some time ago source code for a replacement login.c was posted to alt.sources, for some reason the HZ= line was parsed from /etc/default/login, but was never exported (putenv()'d). If you are using this, check it out. It's probably csh doing the complaining (strings /bin/csh certainly shows the message), I'm not too sure why it needs it, /bin/sh shows no strings entries for the word hertz. -- The spelling mistakes aren't mine, they're the computers.
