- There's not a manual page for it on my system (V4.2), but I think
- you use /etc/install_upgrade. If I remember correctly the upgrade
- is a tar(5) archive with one file on it; /upgrade. After the days
- of getting a different machdep.o and before LMF, this file would be
- read by something called from /etc/rc when the system went multi-user
- and it would perform whatever magic was required to put the user
- limit in place.
-
- With LMF I believe some part of LMF looks for the file and fakes up
- a LMF database entry based on the upgrade file.
