2. Remove the -g default argument in named_flags. It doesn't actually do
what most users think it does, and what most users want it to do is already
accomplished with a proper default group for the bind user, which we have.
Also, the -g knob does something entirely different in BIND 9, which leads
to a lot of needless confusion/aggravation.
3. In the rc.d script, don't bogusly override $command, or $rc_flags. Both
are adequately handled in rc.conf[.local].
4. DO properly override $rc_flags if user has named_chrootdir set.
This may need to be revisited, but should be ok for now.
5. Protect all chrootdir-related bits under that variable, instead of
named_rcng.
There is more work to be done here, especially in the area of BIND 9
compatibility, but this is a start at least.

As an alternative to sendmail_enable=NONE, solve the boot time problem
for non-sendmail users completely by moving all of the sendmail startup
code from /etc/rc to /etc/rc.sendmail. The source for that script will
be kept in src/etc/sendmail/rc.sendmail so make.conf's NO_SENDMAIL will
prevent it from being installed. A new rc.conf variable,
mta_start_script specifies the script to run to start the user's
preferred MTA. For backward compatibility, it will default to
/etc/rc.sendmail. The specified script is called out of /etc/rc after
checking to make sure it exists. A new rc.sendmail.8 man page has also
been added which now houses the sendmail_* variable descriptions
formerly in rc.conf.5.
Use /etc/rc.sendmail in /etc/mail/Makefile to reduce code duplication.

Note that the syslog labels for all of these sendmail processes have been

This increases the scope for user error and also means that systems with

Instead, store the default list in /etc/rc itself and allow the operator

The objection was that the right place for the fix is in mount(8).
Having looked at that problem, I find it hard to believe that
the hoops one would have to jump through can be justified by the

Note that there are reported issues surrounding nfsclient kernel

to the general case.

The patch supports using the X10 Mouse Remote in both stand-alone and
pass-through configurations, so you can plug your mouse and remote into the
same serial port, use the mouse for X, and use the remote for other apps
like Fxtv. For instance, we can now control fxtv via the remote control
just like a TV : change channels, mute, increase volume, zoom video,
freeze frame 8)
The mouse events are channeled through the syscons/sysmouse I/F like
normal, and the remote buttons are "syphoned off" to a UNIX-domain stream
socket (defined as _PATH_MOUSEREMOTE in <machine/mouse.h>) for a
remote-aware app to grab and use.
