up, necessary if you are also using a firewall to restrict lower ports.

reserve, in maximal NFS packets. Originally only 2 packets worth of
space was reserved. The default is now 4, which appears to greatly
improve performance for slow to mid-speed machines on gigabit networks.
Add documentation and correct some prior documentation.

The isdnd is able to listen on a socket for isdnmonitor to connect to
it to remotely control it (similar to ppp and pppctl). When this is
enabled in the isdnd config file, it will fail currently because isdnd
is started before the network interfaces are configured.
It is necessary to move the isdnd start after the ifconfig of the network
interfaces, then this problem will not occur.
Changes are:
- rpc.umntall is called at the right places now in /etc/rc*
- rpc.umntall timeout has been lowered from two days (too high) to one
- verbose messages in rpc.umntall have been clarified
- kill double entries in /var/db/mounttab when rpc.umntall is invoked
- ${early_nfs_mounts} has been removed from /etc/rc
- patched mount(8) -p to print different pass/dump values for ufs filesystems.

Currently we have a problem in that `dhclient' bails when configuring the
second interface as port 68 is already in use (by the `dhclient' started
for the first interface).

Note that there is no rate limiting on the log messages, so log_redirect
should be used with caution (preferrably only for debugging purposes).

Allow a ppp startup option in rc.conf.
Adjust sysinstall so that it appends to the end of ppp.conf
and uses the generated profile to start ppp in auto mode on
boot.

get a list of interfaces, and then automatically configure them if
${ifconfig_${ifn}} or /etc/start_if.${ifn} exists.
This makes it a lot easier to deal with machines that constantly change
their network configuration as you can leave ifconfig settings for all
the possible cards - just the ones that are present will be configured.
Do discard standard output from the sysctl for approxy_all, and echo
what this sysctl is doing in the usual way. This fix is probably
backwards. We should probably just use the standard sysctl output
in all cases (it needs to have a newline filtered out).
Echo what the sysctls for nfs_reserved_port_only and nfs_access_cache

Despite their name it doesn't keep TCP sessions alive, it kills
them if the other end has gone AWOL. This happens a lot with
clients which use NAT, dynamic IP assignment or which has a 2^32
* 10^-3 seconds upper bound on their uptime.
There is no detectable increase in network trafic because of this:
two minimal TCP packets every two hours for a live TCP connection.
Many servers already enable keepalives themselves.
The host requirements RFC is 10 years old, and doesn't know about

log_in_vain:
log_in_vain turns on logging for packets to ports for which
there is no listener.
rc.sysctl:
A generic way to set sysctl values. It reads /etc/syslog.conf
and sets values based on that. No /etc/syslog.conf has been
checked in yet, and I've not added this to the makefile yet
until I get more feedback.

This is closely tied to Hellmuth's impending rc patches for ISDN, but
sppp can also be used separately (thus it doesn't go directly into the
planned ISDN section of rc.conf).
