load, and $ipfilter_active can be "YES" when we are not using ipf(8).

Thus allow a more traditional /etc.
Note, the use of an MFS /var should also be settable.
Otherwise installing ports(packages) is just a total PITA.
when running natd(8) out of the rc-files. It is perfectly valid for
the interface or alias address to be set in a natd(8) configuration
file, not on the command line. Also, loosen up the restrictions on
identifying an IP address argument in 'natd_interface.'
Fix the documentation, rc.conf(5), to reflect this change.
Take the bogus default for 'natd_interface' out of /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

values at all if they are not purposefully set. What if the
administrator messed with them in /etc/sysctl.conf? We don't want to
overwrite them.
If 'log_in_vain' is zero, do not force the issue. If it is non-zero,
set it.
This change was submitted to the freebsd-audit mailing list for review
but received no feedback. Hindsight-enabled reviews are welcome.

Try this out in -CURRENT, MFC, and then consider dropping the
'log_in_vain' knob all together. It really is something for
sysctl.conf(5).

md device and file system creation occurs *after* mtree is run, and
as such an /var/tmp/* or /tmp/* entries will be under the mountpoint
(or fail) rather than appearing in the md filesystems. This prevents
the creation of vi.recover, and might affect other localizations that
rely on the mtree calls affecting these directories.
so swap the order.
Also allow rpc.lockd and rpc.statd to be turned on if nfsclient is
enabled. They are needed to provide client side locking support.

kernel TCP timer code: rather than checking for tcp_keepalive being
set to "YES", check for "NO" and turn off keepalives if the variable
is set in that manner.
o Note: eventually, it would make sense to remove this variable from
rc.conf management, and instead rely on sysctl.conf. In fact, this
is probably true of a number of rc.conf variables whose sole aim
is to drive the setting of sysctls at boot time.
to get it all right, allowing ipnat to be enabled independantly of ipfilter
