* All variables are now embraced: ${foo}
* All comparisons against some value now take the form:
[ "${foo}" ? "value" ]
where ? is a comparison operator
* All empty string tests now take the form:
[ -z "${foo}" ]
* All non-empty string tests now take the form:
[ -n "${foo}" ]

automagically find all the partitions. This is to be preferred to the
somewhat emetic usage of vinum_slices and the equally obnoxious 'vinum
read' command.
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.

enable_quotas - use quotas on your system
check_quotas - check for violations on startup
By assuming that a system was neat and without violation before it booted
we can skip a long (and at that point needless) process.

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

that uses stuff outside of /bin and /sbin, this will break.

Commit changes to rc and rc.local, removing the remaining minimal
functionality of rc.local into rc and commenting it out of rc.local
prior to the deletion of rc.local from the CVS tree.
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
/etc/start_if.tun0 in -ddial or -dedicated mode) and allowing
other programs (such as mgetty) to confuse ppp by playing with
the modem while ppp's using it.
People that nfs-mount /var had better not start ppp in this
way....

Note: This change just provides a convenient way to exercise existing
functionality. Whether `kern.securelevel' is effective in increasing
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.
Make rtld usr /usr/lib/aout as default library path.
Make ldconfig reject /usr/lib as an a.out library path.
Fix various Makefiles for LIBDIR!=/usr/lib breakage.
This will after a make world & reboot give a system that no
longer uses /usr/lib/*, infact one could remove all the old
libraries there, they are not used anymore.
We are getting close to an ELF make world, but I'll let this
all settle for a week or two...

prevent accidentally clobbering the coredump), but they are somewhat

Enable this by setting clear_tmp_enable in rc.conf to YES. Beware
there can be serious side-effects of enabling this, so use at you own

Change mountd such that it does never set this variable, but only clears

Leave dumpdev, but kill the savecore variable. Thus, it's still off
by default, but all you need is enabling dumpdev now.
phk's old argument that savecore might inadvertendly fill up the disk
no longer counts, savecore now correctly obeyes a `minfree' file, and
we ship our systems with such a file that even has a reasonable
default.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been

This is a lot more robust and handles errors a lot better. It also cleans
up stray, hopeless, or unmodified files rather than leaving them there
forever.

- split the "starting network daemons" in half.
- The first half starts things necessary to get full name service up.
- The quota check etc moved from "before network" to after the name
services are running. quotacheck does a while(p=getpwent()) which
isn't real good without YP running...
- moved rwhod a little later to put it with the other network stuff.
- deferred inetd a tad so that it's after ldconfig and dev_mkdb,
otherwise you get logins before you're ready.
Unresolved: named is started before ypserv/ypbind still, but named does
a while(s = getservent()) and while (p=getprotoent()) to suck in the
entire database into memory. This means you cannot have a "+" in the
/etc/services or /etc/protocols files or you get a long hang at boot.
