Without this flag, if the symlink existed already a new symlink would
be created in the source directory. While harmless if the two symlinks
were the same, it nonetheless caused pointless confusion.
The pathological case is that when there is an existing /etc/namedb
symlink, but named_chrootdir in rc.conf pointed to a different
directory, it was the symlink in /var/named that was getting
updated, not the one in /etc. This led to some difficult to diagnose
problems for users.
sockets placed into prisons from the host environment get clobbered

save file was /var/db/entropy, which also happens to
be the directory where the individual entropy files
created by /usr/libexec/save-entropy are stored.
Change the suggestion to be /var/db/entropy-file
instead.
In an error condition where the shutdown file is not
created, the error message accessed a variable that

you're supposed to have /var before mounting remote file systems).
Normal machines that don't have a /var for some reason will have /usr

files and permissions in multiple places. This also means binary
updates won't stomp on log files.
For the record, utmp is created in etc/rc.d/cleanvar, wtmp and lastlog
in etc/rc.d/var, and the reset via etc/rc.d/newsyslog.
- Enable it by default, running newsyslog with -CN which creates files
that have the C flag specified in /etc/newsyslog.conf.
- Remove the "newsyslog -CC" call from etc/rc.d/var and the check for
newsyslog.
- Add the C flag to entries in /etc/newsyslog.conf that are currently
installed as part of the base system.
There are two effects from this change:
- Users who delete default syslog files to stop logging to them
will need to set newsyslog_enable=NO in rc.conf or remove the C
flag from those file in /etc/newsyslog.conf or they will come back
on the next boot.
- Diskless systems now create the same set of files that ordinary
systems have by default instead of every file in newsyslog.conf.

- Also create /var/log/wtmp if missing.
- Attempt to create these files unless populate_var is NO rather then
only when /var is empty or populate_var=YES.

this can cause a really heavy load on system. Several kernel debugging
messages can be triggered even remotely (e.g. bad ARP replies).
Use kern.warning instead, so that really significant messages still

re-sort the examples, and add more comments to make things very obvious.
Also, divide the examples between example.{com|net|org} to make things
