Status of Badging System - Beta 1

I have been testing the badging system, and it works really good.
The only hiccup (with I have a work-around for) is that when I add new badges to the grid in the future, which includes enabling the "Reserved" badges, this causes a change in the hash values and also in the arrays, so a "new badge alert" is issued.
I created a work-around which reverses the order of the PHP array_diff_assoc() call and then compares the size of the two arrays (in forward and reverse order), and so when I bring a new badge on line to the grid, there is no alert generated.
So, I may bring all of the badges "online" even though they are now in "reserve" so that all badges will have a default color assigned; and then assigning a new color to a member (assigning the badge a state) will insure a proper alert.
These are small nuances from testing, and actually, could just bring them all on line and turn off alerts for a day or two, and then turn alerts back on, and it would work out as well.
At some point, when we code a new live application, we need to say "it's good enough" and stop trying to make the code perfect, and I'm getting close to that point.
Basically, the badging system and the alerts work fine and I continue to test them for exceptional situations, and basically, not 100% as I would like, but very good

mkproto
mkproto(8) System Manager's Manual mkproto(8) NAME
mkproto - Constructs a prototype file system SYNOPSIS
mkproto special proto DESCRIPTION
The mkproto command is used to bootstrap a new file system. First a new file system is created using newfs. mkproto is then used to copy files from the old file system into the new file system according to the directions found in the prototype file proto. The prototype file contains tokens separated by spaces or newlines. The first tokens comprise the specification for the root directory. File specifications consist of tokens, giving the mode, the user ID, the group ID, and the initial contents of the file. The syntax of the contents field depends on the mode. The mode token for a file is a 6-character string. The first character specifies the type of the file. (The characters -bcd specify regu- lar, block-special, character-special, and directory files, respectively.) The second character of the type is either a u or a - (dash) to specify setuid mode or not. The third character is either a g or a - (dash) for the setgid mode. The rest of the mode is a 3-digit octal number, giving the owner, group, and other read, write, execute permissions. (See the chmod(1) command for more information.) Two decimal number tokens come after the mode; they specify the user and group IDs of the owner of the file: If the file is a regular file, the next token is a pathname from which the contents and size are copied. If the file is a block-special or a character-special file, two decimal number tokens follow, giving the major and minor device numbers. If the file is a directory, mkproto makes the entries . (dot) and .. (dot dot) and then reads a list of names and (recursively) file specifications for the entries in the directory. The scan is terminated with the token $. The following listing shows a sample prototype specification. d--777 3 1 usr d--777 3 1 sh ---755 3 1 /bin/sh ken d--755 6 1 $ b0 b--644 3 1 0 0 c0 c--644 3 1 0 0 $ $ FILES
