This sysctl value had been provided as a read-only variable that is compiled into the C library based on the value of _PATH_LOCALBASE in paths.h. After this change, the value is compiled into the kernel as an empty string, which is translated to _PATH_LOCALBASE by the C library. This empty string can be overridden at boot time or by a privileged user at run time and will then be returned by sysctl. When set to an empty string, the value returned by sysctl reverts to _PATH_LOCALBASE. This update does not change the behavior on any system that does not modify the default value of user.localbase. I consider this change as experimental and would prefer if the run-time write permission was reconsidered and the sysctl variable defined with CLFLAG_RDTUN instead to restrict it to be set at boot time.

FreeBSD
FreeBSD is an operating system used to power modern servers, desktops, and embedded platforms. A large community has continually developed it for more than thirty years. Its advanced networking, security, and storage features have made FreeBSD the platform of choice for many of the busiest web sites and most pervasive embedded networking and storage devices.
