0050f9ec3c Stop using ntpdate(1) in our startup proceedure. Replace ntpdate(1) with 
calls to ntpd -g.  ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more
accurate.  This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse
out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config
file).  By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers.  To
turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be
added to /etc/rc.conf.  If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is
not synced on startup.  ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd
authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

updating devices in the kernel config file.  MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX changes

1fc4519b1d Add a new variable, ifi_epoch, to struct if_data. It is set to the last 
time the interface counters were zeroed, currently the time if_attach()
was called.  It is indentended to be a valid value for RFC2233's
ifCounterDiscontinuityTime and to make it easier for applications to
verify that the interface they find at a given index is the one that was
there last time they looked.

An if_epoch "compatability" macro has not been created as ifi_epoch has
never been a member of struct ifnet.

c21fd23260 Always compile PFIL_HOOKS into the kernel and remove the associated kernel 
compile option.  All FreeBSD packet filters now use the PFIL_HOOKS API and
thus it becomes a standard part of the network stack.

If no hooks are connected the entire packet filter hooks section and related
activities are jumped over.  This removes any performance impact if no hooks
are active.

Both OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD have integrated PFIL_HOOKS permanently as well.

15eb1e8b45 Ports related rc.d cleanups: 
o Separate out local (ports) scripts that use rc.d, and the old style
  startup/shutdown scripts and execute them separately. On startup the
  rc.d style scripts are executed first and then the old-style scripts.
  On shutdown, exactly the reverse happens.
o The rc.d ports scripts should now behave more like base system scripts.
  Scripts ending in .sh will be sourced into the current shell, while the
  rest will be executed in a subshell. Previously, all ports scripts,
  regardless of the .sh suffix, were executed in a subshell.
o The parent script, /etc/rc.d/localpkg, passes its command line arguments
  straight to the rc.d ports scripts. This means they should now honor
  faststop and faststart commands as well. Old style scripts, should not see
  any differences. They will still get either a start or stop command.
o The initial phrase shown during shutdown has been changed to use
  "local packages" instead of "daemon processes" to be more inline with the
  phrase used during local package startup. The phrases are also used only for
  old-style ports script startup/shutdown, whereas previously they were being
  used for both rc.d and old-style scripts. This should make startup/shutdown
  output a bit less ugly.

a26df538d2 Document a workaround for getting past the groff infinite loop problem 
when your userland is older tahn your kernel and Makefile.inc1 therefore
thinks that you don't need to rebuild groff, when in fact you do.  This
workaround is to set OSRELDATE to 500110 before building, but only if you
have a new enough Makefile.inc1.

I've confirmed this on my laptop, which was suffering from this problem.
Since it only hits power users, we'll naively assume that such users are
smart enough to read UPDATING.

4b065e2ce1 Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system. 
All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.
