several new kerberos related libraries and applications to FreeBSD:
o kgetcred(1) allows one to manually get a ticket for a particular service.
o kf(1) securily forwards ticket to another host through an authenticated
and encrypted stream.
o kcc(1) is an umbrella program around klist(1), kswitch(1), kgetcred(1)
and other user kerberos operations. klist and kswitch are just symlinks
to kcc(1) now.
o kswitch(1) allows you to easily switch between kerberos credentials if
you're running KCM.
o hxtool(1) is a certificate management tool to use with PKINIT.
o string2key(1) maps a password into key.
o kdigest(8) is a userland tool to access the KDC's digest interface.
o kimpersonate(8) creates a "fake" ticket for a service.
We also now install manpages for some lirbaries that were not installed
before, libheimntlm and libhx509.
- The new HEIMDAL version no longer supports Kerberos 4. All users are
recommended to switch to Kerberos 5.
- Weak ciphers are now disabled by default. To enable DES support (used
by telnet(8)), use "allow_weak_crypto" option in krb5.conf.
- libtelnet, pam_ksu and pam_krb5 are now compiled with error on warnings
disabled due to the function they use (krb5_get_err_text(3)) being
deprecated. I plan to work on this next.
- Heimdal's KDC now require sqlite to operate. We use the bundled version
and install it as libheimsqlite. If some other FreeBSD components will
require it in the future we can rename it to libbsdsqlite and use for these
components as well.
- This is not a latest Heimdal version, the new one was released while I was
working on the update. I will update it to 1.5.2 soon, as it fixes some
important bugs and security issues.
If the environment doesn't offer a working /dev/console, the existing
version of init(8) will simply refuse running rc(8) scripts. This means
you'll only have a system running init(8) and nothing else.
Change the code to do the following:
- Open /dev/console like we used to do, but make it more robust to use
O_NONBLOCK to prevent blocking on a carrier.
- If this fails, use /dev/null as stdin and /var/log/init.log as stdout
and stderr.
- If even this fails, use /dev/null as stdin, stdout and stderr.
So why us this useful? Well, if you remove the `getpid() == 1' check in
main(), you can now use init(8) inside jails to properly execute rc(8).
It still requires some polishing, as existing tools assume init(8) has
PID 1.
Also it is now possible to use use init(8) on `headless' devices that
don't even have a serial boot console.
If rc(8) is executed without using a TTY, this error appears at the
beginning:
stty: stdin isn't a terminal
Because this is to be expected and of course not harmful, it is better
to simply hide the error message.

This includes an extended rtalloc(9) KPI for IPv6, the necessary

1. Add new functionality to the force_depend method to incorporate the
tests for whether the service is enabled and/or already running.
2. Add a new option to bypass checking only that the service is enabled
at boot time, and always check if it is running.
3. Use this new functionality to greatly simplify the rc.d scripts that
use force_depend.
4. Add a force_depend for statd in lockd
5. Remove the check that either nfs_server or nfs_client is _enable'd
from statd and lockd. This was always overkill, and prevented using
the {one|force}start options, as well as stop'ing on the command line.
6. The yp* scripts had some of their arguments in various weird orders.
Bring them into line with the model.
7. If mountd fails to create /var/db/mountdtab, err out.
Ideas, suggestions, and/or review from delphij and jilles.
Pointy hats are completely my responsibility however.
The main benefit is that watchdogd would shutdown after most of other
daemons/servers and thus, for example, would remedy a system hang caused
by unlucky X server shutdown.

This has the following advantages:
- During boot, the BOOT_TIME record is now written right after the file
systems become writable, but before users are allowed to log in. This
means that they can't cause `hidden logins' by logging in right before
init(8) kicks in.
- The pututxline(3) function may potentially block on file locking,
though this is very rare to occur. By placing it in an rc script, the
user can still kill it with ^C if needed.
- Most importantly: jails don't use init(8). This means that a force
reboot of a system running jails will leave stale entries in the
accounting database of the jails individually.

already but you want to use them, say for configuring a jail, you're out
of luck.
So add a knob to always load the default rulesets. While I'm here document
the other devfs_ knobs in rc.conf.5.
- ipv6_enable + ipv6_gateway_enable should unset ACCEPT_RTADV by default for
backward compatibility.
- Configurations in ipv6_prefix_IF should be recognized even if there is no
ifconfig_IF_ipv6.
- DAD wait should be performed at once, not on a per-interface basis, if
possible. This fixes an issue that a system with a lot of IPv6-capable
interfaces takes too long for booting.

The concept of set_rcvar() was nice in theory, but the forks

noticeable on slower systems, such as embedded ones.
During the discussion on freebsd-rc@ a preference was expressed for
using ${name}_enable instead of the literal values. However the
code portability concept doesn't really apply since there are so
many other places where the literal name has to be searched for
and replaced. Also, using the literal value is also a tiny bit
faster than dereferencing the variables, and every little bit helps.
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.
