All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.
It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.
The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

Now that the RSA algorithm is released into the public domain, build
librsaintl by default unless NO_RSAINTL is set in make.conf.
The native OpenSSL implementation of RSA is much faster, doesn't have
an artificial keysize limitation, has 30% fewer calories and tastes great!
cached when not in use. This changes the FreeBSD default from 30 minutes
to 5 minutes. JKH was the one that added the override to amd_flags, but
there was no reason given other to serve as an example of what could be
done.
IPX folks a fighting chance of figuring this out themselves. I can't
work out how to document this carefully in rc.conf(5), but this ought
to close the PR.

SUPFLAGS when a 'make update' is run. This means that the supfile
doesn't need to be edited because the -h will override the
CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org host.
Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
(instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the
things they need to disable to secure the system.)

Seems to work great in the type II cf<->pccard adapter that came with
the card. Others have reported with different chipsets for the pccard
bridge that additional support is needed to make this card work with
the 3.3 volts it needs.
o The Shining PMIDE-ASC card is also used in Road Warrior's Bullet Drive, so
add that to the comments.
o Eiger Lab's fujitsu based ethernet card: EPX-10BT (thanks to Ryan Losh for

o Add place holder entry for the 3Com Megahertz 3CXEM556. It doesn't work
