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.

at boot (sendmail_enable=NO), a localhost-only daemon may started
(sendmail_submit_enable) as it is needed to accept mail from command line
submissions. If this isn't desired, see etc/mail/README for more hints.
Optionally (sendmail_msp_queue_enable) start a queue runner for the
submission queue in case a daemon isn't available to accept command line
submitted mail at submission time.
Note that the syslog labels for all of these sendmail processes have been
uniquified for easier log parsing.
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).

list.
This increases the scope for user error and also means that systems with
networkfs_types set in /etc/rc.conf will not benefit from changes to the
list in /etc/defaults/rc.conf on upgrade.
Instead, store the default list in /etc/rc itself and allow the operator
to append to that list by specifying her own list in networkfs_types.
Rename networkfs_types to extra_netfs_types accordingly, as the new name
better describes the purpose of the variable. Default the value to
'NO'.
the network is initialized. This was first implemented in rev 1.268
of src/etc/rc, but was backed out at wollman's request.
The objection was that the right place for the fix is in mount(8).
Having looked at that problem, I find it hard to believe that
the hoops one would have to jump through can be justified by the
desire for purity alone.
Note that there are reported issues surrounding nfsclient kernel
support and mount_nfs(8), which currently make NFS an ugly exception
to the general case.
With this change, systems with non-NFS network filesystems configured
for mounting on startup in /etc/fstab are no longer guaranteed to
fail on startup.

eliminate the ed0: timeout messages that happen at startup as well.

With a small disk being 20GB these days, chances are pretty good that

Diskcheck daemon will read disks in the background at a low rate and

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.

The patch supports using the X10 Mouse Remote in both stand-alone and
pass-through configurations, so you can plug your mouse and remote into the
same serial port, use the mouse for X, and use the remote for other apps
like Fxtv. For instance, we can now control fxtv via the remote control
just like a TV : change channels, mute, increase volume, zoom video,
freeze frame 8)
The mouse events are channeled through the syscons/sysmouse I/F like
normal, and the remote buttons are "syphoned off" to a UNIX-domain stream
socket (defined as _PATH_MOUSEREMOTE in <machine/mouse.h>) for a
remote-aware app to grab and use.
For further info on the X10 Mouse Remote see:
