brought them to BSDcon and gratiously allowed me to test each one with

YAMAMOTO-san also brought.
Also add a Lexar CF card which didn't work with auto on many laptops.
the 'ifconfig ifN delete' into pccard_ether under the 'stop'
function.
In addition start dhclient with a pid file based on the interface
name, e.g. /var/run/dhclient.ep0.pid, and kill the correct dhclient
(or dhcpc) process when the card is removed.
convinced myself that it's better then what we have, but still
not perfect.
/etc/rc : Attempt to seed /dev/random with multiple backoffs.
/etc/rc.shutdown : Attempt to write the entropy_file.
In debugging the above changes, I've run into some
inconsistancies... rc.shutdown is run via 'init 6', but
does not appear to be run via '/sbin/reboot'. Thus, this
set of changes improves life depending on the mechanism
used to shut the system down.

with this over the next few weeks, the PR will be closed with the
pullup of patches back to 4-STABLE.

At the moment, it is an error for anyone but root to write to this
device (EPERM), and the permissions don't suggest that. Soon, however,
anyone will be able to write here, but only root will cause an implicit
reseed.
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).

Now that the RSA algorithm is released into the public domain, build

The native OpenSSL implementation of RSA is much faster, doesn't have
an artificial keysize limitation, has 30% fewer calories and tastes great!

= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

If the random device isn't available, it probably isn't wanted.
If it's wanted, it should be enabled in loader.conf.
