worker can ask the main privileged process to connect in worker's behalf
and then we can migrate descriptor using this socketpair to worker.
This is not really needed now, but will be needed once we start to use
capsicum for sandboxing.

- chrooting to /var/empty (user hast home directory),
- setting groups to 'hast' (user hast primary group),
- setting real group id, effective group id and saved group id to 'hast',
- setting real user id, effective user id and saved user id to 'hast'.
At the end verify that those operations where successfull.

limited to async-signal safe functions in the child process), move all hooks
execution to the main (non-threaded) process.
Do it by maintaining connection (socketpair) between child and parent
and sending events from the child to parent, so it can execute the hook.
This is step in right direction for others reasons too. For example there is
one less problem to drop privs in worker processes.

- Don't exit on errors if not requested.
- Don't keep configuration in global variable, but allocate memory for
configuration.
- Call yyrestart() before yyparse() so that on error in configuration file
we will start from the begining next time and not from the place we left of.

socket.

HAST allows to transparently store data on two physically separated machines
connected over the TCP/IP network. HAST works in Primary-Secondary
(Master-Backup, Master-Slave) configuration, which means that only one of the
cluster nodes can be active at any given time. Only Primary node is able to
handle I/O requests to HAST-managed devices. Currently HAST is limited to two
cluster nodes in total.
HAST operates on block level - it provides disk-like devices in /dev/hast/
directory for use by file systems and/or applications. Working on block level
makes it transparent for file systems and applications. There in no difference
between using HAST-provided device and raw disk, partition, etc. All of them
are just regular GEOM providers in FreeBSD.
For more information please consult hastd(8), hastctl(8) and hast.conf(5)
manual pages, as well as http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/HAST.
