Re: Adding "mail" function?

> About the only function I am missing is the "mail" command

Consider also:
	- Using ftp, scp or rsync to just copy logs off of the EMBSD box
	  without mail.  (again, like mail, you might have to compile and
	  install a program from OpenBSD source)
	- Using network-based syslog to an internal server.  You can log
	  data automatically in real time at a relatively even data rate
	  without load or bandwidht spikes when it's time to transfer
	  logs.  Writing logs to local "disk" isn't good for the longevity
	  of the flash card, or writing to a memory-based filesystem can
	  have the logs disappear when the power drops off.

I don't know how much of a difference it makes (haven't compiled programs
for my Net4501 yet), but considering the Net45xx uses a 486, you might want
to make sure you're compiling for a 486 or 386 processor.  If you have
trouble getting your Pentium-compiled code to work, look at the "-m" options
of gcc and see if you want to add any of them to CFLAGS.

Just a thought.
