NB: In FreeBSD 4.x and earlier, a script (file) named /etc/security
exists. Does mergemaster need to be taught how to replace a file with
a directory?

because new devfs entries can show up later and one can access such entires
from inside named chroot.
In rc.d scripts we can use devfs_domount() function with devfsrules_hide_all
policy and unhide 'null' and 'random' manually.
to see if a prior devfs has been mounted. If no devfs is mounted on
${jail_devdir}/dev then proceed. This will prevent the stack up of
multiple devfs mounts on the same mount point.

to run initdiskless before we run rcorder on /etc/rc.d. To allow this,
move /etc/rc.d/initdiskless to /etc/rc.initdiskless and run it directly
from /etc/rc.
Remove /etc/rc.d/preseedrandom as it is no longer necessicary (we start
with entropy unblocked) and was only used by initdiskless when it
was needed.

Without this flag, if the symlink existed already a new symlink would
be created in the source directory. While harmless if the two symlinks
were the same, it nonetheless caused pointless confusion.
The pathological case is that when there is an existing /etc/namedb
symlink, but named_chrootdir in rc.conf pointed to a different
directory, it was the symlink in /var/named that was getting
updated, not the one in /etc. This led to some difficult to diagnose
problems for users.
sockets placed into prisons from the host environment get clobbered
by the prison's instance of cleanvar. (assuming /etc/rc is run in
the prison).

save file was /var/db/entropy, which also happens to
be the directory where the individual entropy files
created by /usr/libexec/save-entropy are stored.
Change the suggestion to be /var/db/entropy-file
instead.
In an error condition where the shutdown file is not
created, the error message accessed a variable that
doesn't exist.

Remove comment about doing this in etc/rc.d/var.
Unlike in the PR, I chose to do this in the lpd script where we reliably
have /usr available.

to hit this case when /usr is remote and thus hasn't been mounted (since
you're supposed to have /var before mounting remote file systems).
Normal machines that don't have a /var for some reason will have /usr
already available because it's local.
automaticly created at boot. There's no need to maintain a list of
files and permissions in multiple places. This also means binary
updates won't stomp on log files.
For the record, utmp is created in etc/rc.d/cleanvar, wtmp and lastlog
in etc/rc.d/var, and the reset via etc/rc.d/newsyslog.
- Enable it by default, running newsyslog with -CN which creates files
that have the C flag specified in /etc/newsyslog.conf.
- Remove the "newsyslog -CC" call from etc/rc.d/var and the check for
newsyslog.
- Add the C flag to entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that are currently
installed as part of the base system.
There are two effects from this change:
- Users who delete default syslog files to stop logging to them
will need to set newsyslog_enable=NO in rc.conf or remove the C
flag from those file in /etc/newsyslog.conf or they will come back
on the next boot.
- Diskless systems now create the same set of files that ordinary
systems have by default instead of every file in newsyslog.conf.
to create /var/log/lastlog.
- Also create /var/log/wtmp if missing.
- Attempt to create these files unless populate_var is NO rather then
only when /var is empty or populate_var=YES.
