/etc/rc.shutdown : Attempt to write the entropy_file.
In debugging the above changes, I've run into some
inconsistancies... rc.shutdown is run via 'init 6', but
does not appear to be run via '/sbin/reboot'. Thus, this
set of changes improves life depending on the mechanism
used to shut the system down.

This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying

Changes are:
- rpc.umntall is called at the right places now in /etc/rc*
- rpc.umntall timeout has been lowered from two days (too high) to one
- verbose messages in rpc.umntall have been clarified
- kill double entries in /var/db/mounttab when rpc.umntall is invoked
- ${early_nfs_mounts} has been removed from /etc/rc
- patched mount(8) -p to print different pass/dump values for ufs filesystems.

The current offical Sendmail Inc. version uses /var/mail/ and when we upgrade
our repository to that version, we will get the change. It is best to make
the path change in 4.0-R (which may not have the latest Sendmail Inc. version,
than to change in mid-4.x stream when we may upgrade.

rc scripts now call umntall as appropriate.

The motive behind this is to delay rc.{arch} as long as possible,
as it loads the screensaver, which kills the splash screen.
But at the same time, it can't be done after rc.devfs, as
that might depend on arch specific actions. rc.local and local.startup
also should come after these, and securelevel must be last of all.

log_in_vain:
log_in_vain turns on logging for packets to ports for which
there is no listener.
rc.sysctl:
A generic way to set sysctl values. It reads /etc/syslog.conf
and sets values based on that. No /etc/syslog.conf has been
checked in yet, and I've not added this to the makefile yet
until I get more feedback.

Background: the `vinum read' command has changed. For a short period
of time, it required the names of the slices on which vinum was

Disable building tickadj(8) by removing util from SUBDIR in the xntpd
Makefile. Note that the sources are still there and tickadj can still
be built and installed by doing:
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/xntpd/util
# make all install
There are enough references to tickadj in e.g. the xntpd documentation
(not to mention the sysctl variables it uses etc.) that I don't feel
up to implementing the final solution right now.

file formats. I have added a new rc.conf variable ${ldconfig_paths_aout}
which is like ${ldconfig_paths}, but only for a.out shared libraries.
On a "standard" ELF system, the ELF ldconfig path is taken from
${ldconfig_paths}, while the a.out ldconfig path is taken from
${ldconfig_paths_aout}.
On a not-yet-converted a.out system, only the a.out ldconfig path
is set, and it is taken from ${ldconfig_paths_aout}. If that
variable is unset, /etc/rc defaults it to the value of ${ldconfig_paths},
on the assumption that the system's "/etc/rc.conf" file hasn't been
updated.

This was removing ppps device lock (when ppp's started in

Note: This change just provides a convenient way to exercise existing

system security is another issue, and one that has been well thrashed
out in the lists.
Move a.out libraries to /usr/lib/aout to make space for ELF libs.

risk.
