Note, that when cron(8) cannot create pidfile, it'll exit. I didn't
changed this behaviour, but its better to ignore errors other than
EEXIST, so daemon can be started on systems where /var/ file system
doesn't support locking (like NFS without rpc.lockd(8)).
Now this flag can be set, or not set, for memory-backed
file systems on individual basis, as illustrated by the
rc.conf(5) variables tmpmfs_flags and varmfs_flags. The
flag is set for those FS'en by default, in /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
in order to stay compatible with the old rc.subr behaviour.

correctly in the case of FTP_PROXY, because an empty FTP_PROXY has a
specific meaning ("don't use any proxy at all for ftp, even if HTTP_PROXY
is defined"), while an empty HTTP_PROXY has no meaning at all.

- Add a new ifconfig_<ifn> keyword, NOAUTO which prevents configuration
of an interface at boot or via /etc/pccard_ether. This allows
/etc/rc.d/netif to be used to start and stop an interface on a purely
manual basis. The decision to affect pccard_ether may be revisited at
a later date.

actually 1514, so comparing the mbuf length which includes the Ethernet header
to the interface MTU is wrong.
The check was a little over the top so just remove it.

vlrureclaim() in vfs_subr.c 1.636 because waiting for the vnode
lock aggravates an existing race condition. It is also undesirable
according to the commit log for 1.631.
Fix the tiny race condition that remains by rechecking the vnode
state after grabbing the vnode lock and grabbing the vnode interlock.
Fix the problem of other threads being starved (which 1.636 attempted
to fix by removing LK_NOWAIT) by calling uio_yield() periodically
in vlrureclaim(). This should be more deterministic than hoping
that VOP_LOCK() without LK_NOWAIT will block, which may not happen
in this loop.

enhance the security of bpf(4) by further relinquishing the privilege of
the bpf(4) consumer (assuming the ioctl commands are being implemented).
Once BIOCLOCK is executed, the device becomes locked which prevents the
execution of ioctl(2) commands which can change the underly parameters of the
bpf(4) device. An example might be the setting of bpf(4) filter programs or
attaching to different network interfaces.
BIOCSETWF can be used to set write filters for outgoing packets. Currently if
a bpf(4) consumer is compromised, the bpf(4) descriptor can essentially be used
as a raw socket, regardless of consumer's UID. Write filters give users the
ability to constrain which packets can be sent through the bpf(4) descriptor.
These features are currently implemented by a couple programs which came from
OpenBSD, such as the new dhclient and pflogd.
-Modify bpf_setf(9) to accept a "cmd" parameter. This will be used to specify
whether a read or write filter is to be set.
-Add a bpf(4) filter program as a parameter to bpf_movein(9) as we will run the
filter program on the mbuf data once we move the packet in from user-space.
-Rather than execute two uiomove operations, (one for the link header and the
other for the packet data), execute one and manually copy the linker header
into the sockaddr structure via bcopy.
-Restructure bpf_setf to compensate for write filters, as well as read.
-Adjust bpf(4) stats structures to include a bd_locked member.
It should be noted that the FreeBSD and OpenBSD implementations differ a bit in
the sense that we unconditionally enforce the lock, where OpenBSD enforces it
only if the calling credential is not root.

TTL a packet must have when received on a socket. All packets with a
lower TTL are silently dropped. Works on already connected/connecting
and listening sockets for RAW/UDP/TCP.
This option is only really useful when set to 255 preventing packets
from outside the directly connected networks reaching local listeners
on sockets.
Allows userland implementation of 'The Generalized TTL Security Mechanism
(GTSM)' according to RFC3682. Examples of such use include the Cisco IOS
BGP implementation command "neighbor ttl-security".
