to avoid error messages printed on /var/log/messages.
Recently added "stf" interface has IFF_MULTICAST bit set,
because IPv6 don't work on non IFF_MULTICAST set interfaces
in current implementation.
But "stf" interface is multi-dest IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel, so
can't treat multicast packet with no special configuration.
On the other hand, tools like "rtadvd", "pim6dd", "pim6sd"
send messages on IFF_MULTICAST set interfaces by default.
So there will be many bogus error message on /var/log/messages,
that multicast packets sent to "stf0" failed.
So,
-strip "stf0" from rtadvd sending interfaces in rc.network6
("rtadvd" is a daemon used only for local subnet, so it
will never need to send its packets over "stf0" interfaces.)
-Add default configuration files for "pim6dd" and "pim6sd",
and disable "stf0" in those files.

The isdnd is able to listen on a socket for isdnmonitor to connect to
it to remotely control it (similar to ppp and pppctl). When this is
enabled in the isdnd config file, it will fail currently because isdnd
is started before the network interfaces are configured.
It is necessary to move the isdnd start after the ifconfig of the network
interfaces, then this problem will not occur.
Changes are:

- rpc.umntall timeout has been lowered from two days (too high) to one
- verbose messages in rpc.umntall have been clarified

- ${early_nfs_mounts} has been removed from /etc/rc
- patched mount(8) -p to print different pass/dump values for ufs filesystems.

Do discard standard output from the sysctl for approxy_all, and echo

I couldn't do this by modifying only /etc/rc.conf: that file gets

As a result, I resorted to hacking /etc/rc.network -- but I did it in a
