If the current file differs from the canonical version from the old release
only due to differences in the $FreeBSD$ tag (which can happen if the system
was installed from source code, depending on how the src tree was checked out)
then freebsd-update will treat the file as "unmodified" and silently update
it to the "clean" version in the new release.
If the only change being made to a configuration file is in the $FreeBSD$
tag (e.g., for any configuration files which have been modified locally, now
that we're using SVN and the $FreeBSD$ tag changes when a branch is created),
freebsd-update will no longer print the diff and prompt "Does this look
reasonable (y/n)?".

an attacker with root access to the jail can create a setuid binary for
their own use in the host environment (if they also have this access),
thus breaking root in the host.
This exploit is impossible if the jail's files are not world-readable.
Add instructions to the man page on how to create a jail with the
correct permissions set.

line option "-o" to both mountd and nfsd that forces them to use the
old/regular NFS server. The "-e" option for these commands is now

The change also makes newsyslog clean clean up the old extra logfile so
users don't end up with a single stale logfile which won't be rotated
out.
This change also cleans up some code a bit to avoid more copy / paste
code and removes some old copy / paste code in the process.

These are usually the same value, except that control files do not have
the username-for-headerpage field if the user has requested no header page.
- Also rename the cji_username field to cji_headruser, to make it clear that
the value should only be used for the header page. (aka banner page)
