IPFW logging is now dynamic. IPFW logging counts can be reset, and any
given rule can be given an arbitrary logging limit. [MERGED]
The top-level category "security" has been added, and IPFW now uses
syslog(3) to log all messages to /var/log/security.

1.2. SECURITY FIXES
-------------------
Numerous security enhancements and fixes have been applied during the
course of development of FreeBSD 4.0. Most of these have also been
backported to the 3.x-STABLE series.
A new jail(2) system call and admin command (jail(8)) have been added for
additional flexibility in creating secure process execution environments.

has been integrated with the base system. In the future this will be used
to provide strong cryptography for FreeBSD utilities out-of-the-box.
OpenSSH 1.2 has been integrated with the base system. OpenSSH is a free
(BSD-licensed), full-featured implementation of the SSH v1 protocol, which
is completely interoperable with other SSH v1 clients and servers, such as
the /usr/ports/security/ssh port. OpenSSH provides all of the features of
this port - in fact it is based on an older release before the software
became restrictively licensed. FreeBSD 4.0 provides SSH client/server
functionality out-of-the-box if you choose to install the 'DES'
cryptography distribution in sysinstall.

Telnet has a new encrypted authentication mechanism called SRA. SRA
uses a Diffie-Hellmen exchange to establish a session key, then uses
that to DES encrypt the username and password. As a side effect the
