Do not inherit $SYSRC_VERBOSE from operating environment. The concern is
that when a user (such as myself) which has SYSRC_VERBOSE=1 in his/her
~/.bash_profile or such that when they are told to execute a command like:
hostname `sysrc -n hostname`
NOTE: To activate a recently configured hostname.
If $SYSRC_VERBOSE is set, then POLA is violated because the output of sysrc
is indirectly influenced (making for an inconsistent experience).

difference between these two functions:
Usage: f_show_msg() $format_string [ $format_args ... ]
Usage: f_dialog_msgbox() $text [ $hline ]
The former lends itself well to displaying the $msg_* i18n text, prompts,
etc. While the latter is better for text you do not control (error strings
captured as a response from external commands) -- or if you have to control
the hline.
Both scripted access (packageDelete) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Uninstall a package which no other installed package depends
+ Uninstall multiple packages which no other installed packages depend
+ Uninstall multiple packages which depend on each other
+ Similar to above but when ordered removal requires tracing dependencies
+ Purposefully do things like uninstall a package that is not installed
+ Try to uninstall a package which other installed packages still depend
+ Try to uninstall multiple packages which other installed packages depend
+ And many more.
because [currently] we exit after performing requests actions -- if we
ever change this to returning to the package selection screen, this would
have made an impact).
sysinstall(8). The UI for this will come later while this exposes the
functionality to the scripted interface. Tested successfully to first
install the pcnfsd package from the `Latest' repository, and second to
configure mountd_flags="-n" in rc.conf(5).
pending). Both scripted access (packageAdd) and UI access have been tested
successfully with a variation of different situations including:
+ Install a package with no dependencies
+ Install a package with dependencies that are already installed
+ Install a package with dependencies where some are already installed
+ Repeat each of the above from FTP and local Directory
+ Purposefully do things like try to install a package that does not exist
+ Try to install a package for which a dependency could not be loaded
+ Try to install a package that is in the INDEX bot not on the media
+ And many more.
allowed to ignore the probe_only argument of its member functions solely
because in the C language, the file accessor methods open and return a file
descriptor and reading of the data is optional. In shell, the file accessor
methods return data on stdout and that data should not be ignored (large
files could block execution).
So, we must adhere to the probe_only flags and in some cases (in the case of
FTP, for example) change the `get' strategy to simply test existence and
return an appropriate status.
This was required because the up-coming package management stuff makes heavy
use of the probe_only argument to try different package suffixes. Every
media access module must implement $probe_only for the `get' accessor.

rwhod(8) receiver can now only receive packages, write to /var/rwho/ directory
and log to syslog.

which is very bad idea. Split sending and receiving in two processes,
which fixes this problem and will help to sandbox rwhod.
