>Description:
login fails to run on sun2:
# uname -a
NetBSD 11.99.4 NetBSD 11.99.4 (FOURMEG) #3: Tue Dec 23 09:51:31 PST 2025 thorpej@the-ripe-vessel:/nbsd/objdir/sun2/sys/arch/sun2/compile/FOURMEG sun2
# /usr/bin/login
-sh: /usr/bin/login: not enough memory
#
Size says:
text data bss dec hex filename
5276319 33196 126432 5435947 52f22b /nbsd/destdir/sun2/usr/bin/login
vmparam.h says:
#ifndef MAXTSIZ
#define MAXTSIZ (5*1024*1024) /* max text size */
#endif
so login(1) blows the budget. This is likely due to MKPAM=yes and the fact that it's all statically linked in on mc68010.
Cron also fails to run, for almost certainly the same reason:
text data bss dec hex filename
5305883 33988 127008 5466879 536aff /nbsd/destdir/sun2/usr/sbin/cron
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot sun2 multi-user, attempt to log in.
>Fix:
Likely solution is to build with MKPAM=no.
