Document the current semantics of the 'quiet' command prefix
in the rc.subr(8).
Fix dhclient rc.d script: it should not call err() for
non-DHCP-enabled interface when it is called from devd, because the
latter just blindly calls 'service dhclient quietstart' on each "link
up" event.
Since the 'quietstart' will silence the message "Cannot 'start' <foo>.
Set <foo>_enable to YES in /etc/rc.conf or use 'onestart' instead of
'start'." and running dhclient on the non-DHCP-enabled interface is
the same thing as running the service <foo> without <foo>_enable set,
such modification is in sync with the current semantics of the 'quiet'
prefix.

[1] - This subroutine was implemented in FreeBSD in rc.d/fsck. I moved it
to rc.subr(8). Our version differs slightly in that it takes an
optional argument to stop the boot even if "autoboot" is not set.

so people like me with VGA consoles can override the default (which is

to override the defaults.
* Modify nanobsd.8 to reflect the changes and hint the console default is

To make the things more consistent, introduce a new rc.subr function,

as part of rc. Doing this, and the sourcing of rc.subr after we have
determined if we are booting diskless (and correspondingly run
rc.initdiskless if necessary) are safe, and actually allow fewer files
to be needed on the diskless box. This also allows variables from
the configuration to be available to rc itself, such as ...
Add a variable to rc.conf, early_late_divider, which designates the

Implement ``one'' prefix to allow a "one shot" operation as if
${rcvar}=yes yet all the other prerequisite tests are still performed.
The existing ``force'' prefix is a sledgehammer that ignores all the
prerequisite checks and always returns a zero exit status; this is a
more gentle approach to the problem of "manipulate this disabled
service without editing rc.conf(5)".

Ensure all standard targets honor SUBDIR. Now `make obj' descends into
SUBDIRs even if NOOBJ is set (some descendants may still need an object
directory, but we do not have such precedents). Now `make install' in
non-bsd.subdir.mk makefiles runs `afterinstall' target _after_ `install'
in SUBDIRs, like we do in bsd.subdir.mk. Nothing depended on the wrong
order anyway.
Fixed `distribute' targets (except for the bsd.subdir.mk version) so that
they do not depend on _SUBDIR; `distribute' calls `install' which already
depends on _SUBDIR.
De-standardize `maninstall', otherwise manpages would be installed twice.

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.
