rwatson 6796817e99 A variety of content cleanups:
(1) Document the notion of using jail(8) to run "virtual servers" or
    just to constrain specific applications.  If only running specific
    applications, some configuration steps are unnecessary (such as
    editing rc.conf).

(2) Add some more subsection headers to break up the bigger chunks of
    text.

(3) Clarify the problems associated with applications binding all IP
    addresses in the host, and attempt to be more specific about
    potential application problems.  Document how to force sshd to
    bind the the right socket.

(4) Suggest that in a jailed application scenario, you might want to
    have the host syslogd listen on the socket in the jail, rather
    than running syslogd in the jail.

(5) Catch another reference to /stand/sysinstall.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you might need to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/<arch>/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
