Watchdogd currently disables the watchdog when it exits, such as during
rc.shutdown processing. That leaves the system vulnerable to getting hung
or deadlocked during the shutdown part of a reboot. For embedded systems
it's especially important that the hardware watchdog always be active. It
can also be useful for servers that are administered remotely.
The new -x <seconds> option tells watchdogd to program the watchdog with the
given timeout just before exiting. The -x value can be longer or shorter
than the -t normal time value, to allow for various exceptional conditions
at shutdown such as allowing extra time for buffer flushing.
The exit value is also used internally in the "failsafe" handling (which
used to just disable the watchdog), on the theory that if you're using this
option, "safe" means having the watchdog always running, not disabled.
The default is still to disable the watchdog on exit if -x is not specified.

repository signature_type is unsupported by bootstrap pkg(7).
Previously, when signature_type specified an unsupported method,
the bootstrap pkg(7) would proceed like when signature_type is
"none". MITM attackers may be able to use this vulnerability and
bypass validation and install their own versions of pkg(8).
At this time, only fingerprint and none are supported by the
bootstrap pkg(7).
FreeBSD's official pkg(8) repository uses the fingerprint method
and is therefore unaffected.
Errata candidate.

The C library already knows how to lookup eui64 entries from NIS. For
example, fwcontrol(8) does it. But /var/yp/Makefile.dist doesn't build the
eui64 maps, and ypinit(8) doesn't push them to slaves. This change fixes
that.

Its idea was to be a simple initiator and execute several commands from
kernel level, but FreeBSD never had consumer for that functionality,
while its implementation polluted many unrelated places..
characters use the defined constant so that in case of change this

/usr/home/adrian/work/freebsd/head-embedded-2/src/usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c: In function 'pw_user_next':
/usr/home/adrian/work/freebsd/head-embedded-2/src/usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c:680: warning: statement with no effect
Now each subcommands checks its arguments in a dedicated functions.
This helps improving input validation, code readability/maintainability
While here:
- Add a -y option to pw userdel/usermod so it can maintain NIS servers if
nispasswd is not defined in pw.conf(5)
- Allow pw -r <rootdir> to remove directory with userdel -r
- Fix bug when renaming a user which was not renaming the user name it groups
it is a member of.
- Only parse pw.conf(5) when needed.
First they are redundant with the tests we currently have on pw(8)
Second they to modify the host database instead of being self contained withing
the test directory
supposed to be manipulated
This prevent pw usermod creating a new local user when requesting to usermod on
a username is defined in LDAP.
This issue only happens when modifying the local user database (not inpacting
commands when -V or -R are used).

For Lenovo laptops with buggy bios (x220, t420, t520):
Write the 0xee entry into the second slot in the pmbr instead of the first
For some Dell and HP models:
The BIOS gives a warning message when booting in legacy mode from a GPT partitioned disk where the 0xee partition in the pmbr is not flagged active
For models known to have this problem, mark the pmbr active during installation
Use smbios data to identify machines known to be affected by any of the above, and offer the user the option to apply the workaround
In bsdinstall's ufs auto mode (autopart partition wizard):
Allow users to select which type of partition table to use
Keep current defaults: MBR for BIOS, GPT for UEFI
This allows users to choose GPT for legacy boot if they wish
