dhclient is no longer a real service, it is a helper script
for /etc/rc.d/netif and devd. Its direct invocation isn't
needed to bring the network up.

parts relied on the now removed NET_NEEDS_GIANT.
Most of I4B has been disconnected from the build
since July 2007 in HEAD/RELENG_7.
This is what was removed:
- configuration in /etc/isdn
- examples
- man pages
- kernel configuration
- sys/i4b (drivers, layers, include files)
- user space tools
- i4b support from ppp
- further documentation
Discussed with: rwatson, re
* Put quotes around each line
* Single quotes for lines with no variable interpolation
* Double quotes if there is
* Capitalize each word that begins a line
* Make echo -n 'Doing foo:' ... echo '.' more of a standard
No functionality changes
scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
files.
This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.
Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
static_routes and defaultrouter variables. I'm glad I looked again, however,
as I realized that setting static_routes to NO in the case of a defaultrouter
would wind up with a bogus value for static_routes. It doesn't really
hurt anything, but it's still wrong so I fixed it. I think this whole routing
section of sysconfig needs a revisit - it's getting gross!
directories to check in looking for port startup scripts. The specific gunge
for apache httpd, gated and pcnfsd in /etc/sysconfig and /etc/netstart is
gone now. Note that pcnfsd's troubles aren't necessarily over (and probably
why NetBSD brought it into their sources) - anyone adding pcnfsd will STILL
have to tweak /etc/sysconfig in order to set the new variable
`weak_mountd_authentication' to YES. The flags to mountd are directly affected
by pcnfsd's requirements for non-root mounts, unfortunately! :-(

Add comment that you should not have to edit netstart, and if you
do we would like to know about it.
The lo0 interface is now handled just like any other interface,
This makes it possible to do things to it from sysconfig.
Redo the comments in sysconfig about network_interfaces and ifconfig_${X}
to reflect the moving of lo0 to this scheme. We now have an uncommented
variable for sysintall to find and play with. (Your welcome Jordan)
Redo the way static routes are handled. Basically use the same
scheme for routes that I did for network interfaces. This allows
any number of static routes to be added from sysconfig.
Make sure we do the default route first so we stand a chance of
getting to our DNS server (if we have one) to resolve our own
IP address from $hostname.
Have netstart directly source sysconfig so that it stands on its own.
Do not source netstart in rc, run it with sh.
Rework the dangerous /etc/hostname.* so that it uses a variable with
a list of interfaces and a variable for each interface in that list.
The files /etc/hostname.* become obsolete with this change, the
information is now stored in /etc/sysconfig.
Source any /etc/start_if.${ifn} files so they can export things to
netstart (plans for future enhancements in this area.)
Obsolete /etc/defaultrouter, this is now down with $defaultrouter from
sysconfig.
changes to it based upon other outstanding bug reports and commits made
after his work.
Comments:
(a) sysconfig is still used to do all configuration. I was not going to
change that out from under you.... a user never need edit netstart
or rc* unless they're being very weird.
(b) rc.maint has been folded back into rc. It is just unworkable as
a separate chunk because of ordering bogosities
(c) netstart does what it says... it starts up enough of the network to
get up, it doesn't start every bloody daemon that might talk to a
socket... netstart ifconfig's the devices and sets up routing if
configured to do so.
(d) nfs disks are mounted immediately after netstart completes
(e) syslog is started as early as possible (right after nfs) so that error
messages can get logged to remote syslog servers properly
(f) named is started (there is an argument that says that named should be
started before syslogd because if you are the dns server for your domain,
you'd like named to resolve remote hosts in syslog.conf, but this is
a minority case and the trivial workarround is to put the syslog host
in /etc/hosts or use an /etc/resolv.conf -- why? because you want syslog
to catch named errors, which is a MUCH more important and likely occurance)
(g) NOW all of the rest of the network daemons such as the time stuff, RPC,
NIS, NFS, Kerberos and inetd are started
(h) the rest of the generic stuff is done (cron/printer/sendmail)
(i) shared libraries are set
(j) /etc/rc.i386 is run (this does FreeBSD/386 specific stuff like ibcs2,
xtend, and all of the syscons stuff
(this is actually started as /etc/rc.`uname -m`
(k) the syscons stuff has gotten a serious cleaning to make it consistent
with rc conventions
(l) rc.local has had the comments about syscons removed (they are not relevant
to this file now) and the full name of the kernel has been restored to
/etc/motd
