A "driftfile" caches the oscillator offset estimate from boot to boot,
having this means faster and less bumpy time synchronization. Will
be overridden by any value in the config file.
o The following additional configuration attributes of a jail can be
controlled from rc.conf:
- mounting devfs(5)
- mounting fdescfs(5)
- mounting procfs(5)
- custom devfs(8) ruleset
If no ruleset is specified, the default jail ruleset is used.
o The output of executing /etc/rc in the jail is now redirected
to /dev/null. Instead, the hostname of the jail is echoed if
the jail(8) command exited successfully. If the output is wanted
it can probably be redirected to a file (/var/run/$jail maybe)
instead of /dev/null.

devfs(8) rules in rc(8). It is most useful for applying
rules to devfs(5) mount points in /dev or inside jails.
The following line of script is sufficient to
mount a relatively useful+secure devfs(5) in a jail:
devfs_mount_jail /some/jail/dev
Some new shell routines available to scripts that source
rc.subr(5):
o devfs_link - Makes it a little easier to create symlinks
o devfs_init_rulesets - Create devfs(8) rulesets from devfs.rules
o devfs_set_ruleset - Set a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount
o devfs_apply_ruleset - Apply a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount
o devfs_domount - Mount devfs(5) and apply some ruleset
o devfs_mount_jail - Mount devfs(5) and apply a ruleset
appropriate to jails.
Additional rulesets can be specified in /etc/devfs.rules.
If the devfs_system_ruleset variable is defined in rc.conf
and it contains the name of a ruleset defined in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
or user supplied rulesets in /etc/devfs.rules then that ruleset will
be applied to /dev at startup by the /etc/rc.d/devfs script. It can
also be applied post-startup:
/etc/rc.d/devfs start
This is a more flexible mechanism than the previous method of using
/etc/devfs.conf. However, that method is still available.
Note: since devfs(8) doesn't provide any way for creating symlinks
as part of a ruleset, anyone wishing to create symlinks in a devfs(5)
as part of the bootup sequence will still have to rely on /etc/devfs.conf.
use the atmconfig(8) utility instead of route(8) to install those routes.
For this we need a new rc.conf variable natm_static_routes that works
just like static_routes except that the referenced routes use the syntax
of atmconfig(8).

This commit has two pieces. One half is the watchdog kernel code which lives
primarily in hardclock() in sys/kern/kern_clock.c. The other half is a userland
daemon which, when run, will keep the watchdog from firing while the userland
is intact and functioning.

take advantage of the rc.subr(8) glue. They are renamed dhclient_program
and dhclient_flags.
o Rename them in rc.conf(5)
o Rename them in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
o Add the deprecated variables to /etc/rc.subr
o Isolate the use of the 'command' variable to the
NetBSD specific parts in /etc/rc.d/dhclient.
o Now that dhcp_flags has also been renamed it will
be applied properly by rc.subr(8) glue code.

All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.
Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.
