aea80a64a5 Make an advise that a rebuild of fsck(8) is recommended for -CURRENT
after 20050220 due to the superblock summary recomputation change.
Also make a note about how to go back to the old behavior.

bc9d299133 Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wall
clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards.

This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using
ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.  None are know to
exist today.  This will not impact applications that are using the
<index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it
eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness.

Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

90dc539be0 Welcome to the 21st century: increase MAXSHELLCMDLEN from 128 bytes to
PAGE_SIZE.

Unlike originator of the PR suggests retain MAXSHELLCMDLEN definition
(he has been proposing to replace it with PAGE_SIZE everywhere), not only
this reduced the diff significantly, but prevents code obfuscation and also
allows to increase/decrease this parameter easily if needed.

b272360897 As threatened, trim the UDPATING file to the branchpoint for RELENG_5.
People wishing to see prior changes are encouraged to look at the
UPDATING file on the RELENG_5 branch.  Document when RELENG_5 was
branched, as well as the 5.3 release date, as shown in the CVS logs
for newvers.sh.

This change should not be MFC'd.

c94c54e4df Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.
A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message
and the resulting discussion:

 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706

Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP
from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel.  Other features
introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes,
sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols)  and are meant to
be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the
previous T/TCP functionality.

57e8fce71c Remove the suggestion to use libmap.conf to deal with the version bump.
People have a tendency to add things to libmap.conf and forget about them
(as we've seen in the mailing lists before).
The compat4x port should be used instead.

d6a8d58875 Add an additional struct inpcb * argument to pfil(9) in order to enable
passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with
the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with
debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do
so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock
and will follow in a seperate (later) commit.

This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in
forseeable future.

d6ec7d8c05 Amend the named chroot update instructions by adding a stop and start

8f1bb3891d Create a named chroot directory structure in /var/named, and use it
by default when named is enabled. Also, improve our default directory
layout by creating /var/named/etc/namedb/{master|slave} directories,
and use the former for the generated localhost* files.

Rather than using pax to copy device entries, mount devfs in the
chroot directory.

There may be some corner cases where things need to be adjusted,
but overall this structure has been well tested on a production
network, and should serve the needs of the vast majority of users.

UPDATING has instructions on how to do the conversion for those
with existing configurations.

6e03664cc4 Bring back etc/rc.d/ntpdate as requested by scads of people. This isn't a
complete backout as the ntpd_sync_on_start etc/rc.conf tunable is still
present, though the default is now NO (was YES).  Since we're no longer
syncing time at startup by default when ntpd is enabled (as was the case
24hrs ago), remove UPDATING entry pointing out that ntpd(1) -g is slower
than ntpdate(1).

Hopefully ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" can be made the default for -CURRENT
after 5.3 is cut.  At the very least, this should be set to YES when a
user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).

0050f9ec3c Stop using ntpdate(1) in our startup proceedure. Replace ntpdate(1) with
calls to ntpd -g.  ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more
accurate.  This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse
out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config
file).  By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers.  To
turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be
added to /etc/rc.conf.  If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is
not synced on startup.  ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd
authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

1fc4519b1d Add a new variable, ifi_epoch, to struct if_data. It is set to the last
time the interface counters were zeroed, currently the time if_attach()
was called.  It is indentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime and to make it easier for applications to
verify that the interface they find at a given index is the one that was
there last time they looked.

An if_epoch "compatability" macro has not been created as ifi_epoch has
never been a member of struct ifnet.

c21fd23260 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.
