At the moment, it is an error for anyone but root to write to this

anyone will be able to write here, but only root will cause an implicit

All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.
It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.
The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

Make sysinstall override this on install, so the effective behavioural
change for a newly installed system is null. Overall, this makes a system
with an empty /etc/rc.conf not run any network services, and makes the
FreeBSD-provided network services that are running visible in /etc/rc.conf
(instead of making people look through /etc/defaults/rc.conf to find the
things they need to disable to secure the system.)

The tap driver is used to present a virtual Ethernet interface to the
system. Packets presented by the network stack to the interface are

This driver also has a special naming hack to allow it to serve a similar
purpose to the vmware port.

wheel to trash logfiles is not exactly good security policy. There have

as well (eg: the locate database were set to more restrictive modes (444)
