read requests to its consumer. It has been developed to address
the problem of a horrible read performance of a 64k blocksize FS
residing on a RAID3 array with 8 data components, where a single
disk component would only get 8k read requests, thus effectively
killing disk performance under high load. Documentation will be
provided later. I'd like to thank Vsevolod Lobko for his bright
ideas, and Pawel Jakub Dawidek for helping me fix the nasty bug.
With the first part of my previous Summer of Code work, we get:
-made libalias modular:
-support for 'particular' protocols (like ftp/irc/etcetc) is no more
hardcoded inside libalias, but it's available through external
modules loadable at runtime
-modules are available both in kernel (/boot/kernel/alias_*.ko) and
user land (/lib/libalias_*)
-protocols/applications modularized are: cuseeme, ftp, irc, nbt, pptp,
skinny and smedia
-added logging support for kernel side
-cleanup
After a buildworld, do a 'mergemaster -i' to install the file libalias.conf
in /etc or manually copy it.
During startup (and after every HUP signal) user land applications running
the new libalias will try to read a file in /etc called libalias.conf:
that file contains the list of modules to load.
User land applications affected by this commit are ppp and natd:
if libalias.conf is present in /etc you won't notice any difference.
The only kernel land bit affected by this commit is ng_nat:
if you are using ng_nat, and it doesn't correctly handle
ftp/irc/etcetc sessions anymore, remember to kldload
the correspondent module (i.e. kldload alias_ftp).
General information and details about the inner working are available
in the libalias man page under the section 'MODULAR ARCHITECTURE
(AND ipfw(4) SUPPORT)'.
NOTA BENE: this commit affects _ONLY_ libalias, ipfw in-kernel nat
support will be part of the next libalias-related commit.

chance to actually terminate the audit service and exit. Otherwise, on
an rc.d/auditd restart, the new audit daemon instance may try to start
auditing while the previous session is still running. Likewise, this
ensures a chance for auditd to terminate the audit trail at system
shutdown.
Perhaps more ideally, the script would wait synchronously for auditd to
exit rather than for an arbitrary but short period of time.

interface is an IPv6 interface.
Use this method to decide if we should attempt to configure an interface
with an IPv6 address in pccard_ether. The mechanism pccard_ether uses
to do this is unsuited to the task because it assumes the list of
interfaces it is passed is the full list of IPv6 interfaces and makes
decissions based on that. This is at least a step in the right
direction and is probably about as much as we can MFC safely.

it limits the width of its output to the value of $COLUMNS, or
what TIOCGWINSZ reports, or 79 columns. We should specify -ww
to ps(1) so that it removes the limit and prints lines in full.
Otherwise very long command pathnames could be mishandled, e.g.,
by _find_processes().

Add dhclient_flags_iface and background_dhclient_iface rc.conf options.
