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
after 5.3 is cut. At the very least, this should be set to YES when a
user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).

problems:
1) Add locking for SMP, code provided by Alan Cox
2) While testing Alan's patches, I observed serious problems with
the jumbo buffer allocation code (machine crashed twice), so I gutted
it and rewrote the receive handler to use multiple chained descriptors.
Each RX descriptor gets a single 2K cluster, and the chip will fill in
as many as it needs to hold the complete packet.
User reports that this corrects the data corruption issues previously
observed and discussed on -current.
Note that this driver still needs to be hit with the busdma stick.
I intend to inflict said beating in the near future.

careful with the skip condition this time. Addresses are only not taken into
account if:
- The interface is POINTTOPOINT
- There is no route installed for the address
- The user specified noalias (:0)
and - We are looking at an IPv4 address.
This should be enough paranoia to not cause any false positives.

o Allow for up to 3 resource I/O ranges to be given for the floppy
controller, rather than just two that are allowed for now.
o Make sure that we can work with either a base address of 0x3f0 or 0x3f2.
o Create new inline functions to access the YE DATA's unique BDCR register.
o Update pccard attachment to add the fd device.
o Do some minor style(9) polishing.
# I'm guessing that the fdc pccard attachment broke some time ago, since
# there are a number of issues with it still.
install media on i386 and amd64. While the current default is very
useful in server environments, the ability to use USB keyboards is
vastly more important then the ability to use PS/2 keyboards the admin
forgot to plug in during the install process.

save to call if_attachdomain from if_attach() (as done for if_loop.c). We
will now end up with a properly initialized if_afdata array and the nd6
callout will no longer try to deref a NULL pointer.
Still this is a temp workaround and the locking for if_afdata should be
revisited at a later point.

calls to ntpd -g. ntpd is noticeably 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 has been depreciated by the ntpd authors
for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.

- Add OpenBSD example rulesets as advertised in etc/pf.conf and pf.conf(5)
- Tweak the pointer to fit the FreeBSD default location share/examples/pf
- Account for the new directory in BSD.usr.dist (no hier(7) change required
as share/examples is an opaque item there).

crontab: errors in crontab file, can't install
Do you want to retry the same edit? yes
[Exit the editor without any changes.]
crontab: no changes made to crontab

Now crontab will loop until the error is fixed, or the
user answers no.
