* Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy
* Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems
to be a better default, although still bikeshed material.
* Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands
and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random
a better chance of running without blocking early.
* Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point
immediately after the disks are mounted.
* Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the
possibility of accidentally overwriting something other

it can be used to reseed at boot time. This will greatly increase
the chances that there will be sufficient entropy available at
boot time to prevent long delays.
For /etc/rc, remove the vmstat and iostat runs from the attempt
to provide some cheesy randomness if the files fail, since
those programs are dynamically linked, and ldd seems to want
some randomness to do its magic.
Guidance and parameters for this project were provided by
Mark Murray, based on the requirements of the Yarrow
algorithm. Some helpful suggestions for implementation
(including the tip about iostat and vmstat) were provided
by Sheldon Hearn. All blame for problems or mistakes is
mine of course.

one-way hash functions for authentication purposes. There is no more
"set the libcrypt->libXXXcrypt" nightmare.
- Undo the libmd.so hack, use -D to hide the md5c.c internals.
- Remove the symlink hacks in release/Makefile
- the algorthm is set by set_crypt_format() as before. If this is
not called, it tries to heuristically figure out the hash format, and
if all else fails, it uses the optional auth.conf entry to chose the
overall default hash.
- Since source has non-hidden crypto in it there may be some issues with
having the source it in some countries, so preserve the "secure/*"
division. You can still build a des-free libcrypt library if you want
to badly enough. This should not be a problem in the US or exporting
from the US as freebsd.org had notified BXA some time ago. That makes
this stuff re-exportable by anyone.
- For consistancy, the default in absence of any other clues is md5. This
is to try and minimize POLA across buildworld where folk may suddenly
be activating des-crypt()-hash support. Since the des hash may not
always be present, it seemed sensible to make the stronger md5 algorithm
the default.
All things being equal, no functionality is lost.

for a hung `daily' run to keep a `weekly' run from happening.
Same for `monthly'. We have always run `weekly' and `monthly' reguardless
of the execution status of `daily'. Until there is some consensus we should
not change the behavior.
On Saturdays, run daily and weekly sequentially, starting at 03:01 am.
This prevents daily and weekly from overlapping, while running weekly as
early as possible (i.e. as soon as daily finishes) to give it time to
finish before monthly starts at 05:30 am.
It's probably possible to do something similar with monthly, making it
run as soon as daily (and possibly weekly, if the first of the month
is a Saturday) finishes, but this is left as an exercise for the reader.

a) the configured default printer entry might turn out to become a security hole
Although lpd isn't enabled by default in FreeBSD 4 and later versions
bad things might happen because of a simple copy and paste failure:
- fill up root-fs, if /dev/lpt0 doesn't exist
- fill up the spool dir (either root-fs or var-fs) if machine hadn't been
designed as print server
Therefore best decision: if people want printing, then configure both
1. /etc/rc.conf
2. /etc/printcap

design of most of our config files is, to have commented out suggestions
if a service is not active.
