complete backout as the ntpd_sync_on_start etc/rc.conf tunable is still
present, though the default is now NO (was YES). Since we're no longer
syncing time at startup by default when ntpd is enabled (as was the case
24hrs ago), remove UPDATING entry pointing out that ntpd(1) -g is slower
than ntpdate(1).
Hopefully ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" can be made the default for -CURRENT

user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).

calls to ntpd -g. ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more
accurate. This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse
out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config
file). By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers. To
turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be
added to /etc/rc.conf. If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is
not synced on startup. ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd
authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

ip6addrctl_enable is set to YES, address selection policy is installed
into kernel.
If there is /etc/ip6addrctl.conf, it is used for address selection
policy. Even if there is no /etc/ip6addrctl.conf, we install default
policy. In this case, if ipv6_enable is set to YES, we use address
selection policy described in RFC 3484 as default. Otherwise, we
install priority policy for IPv4 address.
The default of ip6addrctl_enable is NO for now. However, it may
better to enable it by default.

2. Remove the -g default argument in named_flags. It doesn't actually do
what most users think it does, and what most users want it to do is already
accomplished with a proper default group for the bind user, which we have.
Also, the -g knob does something entirely different in BIND 9, which leads
to a lot of needless confusion/aggravation.
3. In the rc.d script, don't bogusly override $command, or $rc_flags. Both
are adequately handled in rc.conf[.local].
4. DO properly override $rc_flags if user has named_chrootdir set.
This may need to be revisited, but should be ok for now.
5. Protect all chrootdir-related bits under that variable, instead of
named_rcng.
There is more work to be done here, especially in the area of BIND 9
compatibility, but this is a start at least.

Because there is no "correct" way of doing ATA raid (ie, geom vs.
atacontrol vs. vinum) that is bikeshed proof, this rcng script stays within
the bounds of atacontrol and assumes that other RAID solutions for GEOM or
vinum will end up in a different rcNG script.

o The following additional configuration attributes of a jail can be
controlled from rc.conf:
- mounting devfs(5)
- mounting fdescfs(5)
- mounting procfs(5)
- custom devfs(8) ruleset
If no ruleset is specified, the default jail ruleset is used.
o The output of executing /etc/rc in the jail is now redirected
to /dev/null. Instead, the hostname of the jail is echoed if
the jail(8) command exited successfully. If the output is wanted
it can probably be redirected to a file (/var/run/$jail maybe)
instead of /dev/null.

devfs(8) rules in rc(8). It is most useful for applying
rules to devfs(5) mount points in /dev or inside jails.
The following line of script is sufficient to
mount a relatively useful+secure devfs(5) in a jail:
devfs_mount_jail /some/jail/dev
Some new shell routines available to scripts that source
rc.subr(5):
o devfs_link - Makes it a little easier to create symlinks
o devfs_init_rulesets - Create devfs(8) rulesets from devfs.rules
o devfs_set_ruleset - Set a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount
o devfs_apply_ruleset - Apply a ruleset to a devfs(5) mount
o devfs_domount - Mount devfs(5) and apply some ruleset
o devfs_mount_jail - Mount devfs(5) and apply a ruleset
appropriate to jails.
Additional rulesets can be specified in /etc/devfs.rules.
If the devfs_system_ruleset variable is defined in rc.conf
and it contains the name of a ruleset defined in /etc/defaults/devfs.rules
or user supplied rulesets in /etc/devfs.rules then that ruleset will
be applied to /dev at startup by the /etc/rc.d/devfs script. It can
also be applied post-startup:
/etc/rc.d/devfs start
This is a more flexible mechanism than the previous method of using
/etc/devfs.conf. However, that method is still available.
Note: since devfs(8) doesn't provide any way for creating symlinks
as part of a ruleset, anyone wishing to create symlinks in a devfs(5)
as part of the bootup sequence will still have to rely on /etc/devfs.conf.
use the atmconfig(8) utility instead of route(8) to install those routes.
For this we need a new rc.conf variable natm_static_routes that works
just like static_routes except that the referenced routes use the syntax

o Rename them in rc.conf(5)
o Rename them in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
o Add the deprecated variables to /etc/rc.subr
o Isolate the use of the 'command' variable to the
NetBSD specific parts in /etc/rc.d/dhclient.
o Now that dhcp_flags has also been renamed it will
be applied properly by rc.subr(8) glue code.

All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed

that used those old scripts has also been removed.
