scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
files.
This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.
Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

purpose of the hook was to provide the ability for a shell program to
instantiate the firewall rules instead of forcing them to be
statically coded. This functionality was already present through the
use of ${firewall_script}, and I see no need to keep the
${firewall_type} hook around.

symlinks to fd/0, fd/1, and fd/2 respectively. This will make
things easier for upcoming changes to fdesc (and does not break
anything for the current state of things) and hopefully its
position as the replacement for our existing static /dev/fd nodes.

of forcing them to be an 'ipfw' rules file. This allows one to
determine interface addresses dynamically, etc. The rule is if the
file referenced by ${firewall_type} is executable, it is sourced, but
if it is just readable, it is used as input to 'ipfw' like before.

Please install /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and update /etc/defaults/rc.conf
as well.
Note that old pccard.conf.sample still remains for while but
no longer to be maintained.

improve performance for slow to mid-speed machines on gigabit networks.

o Remove some commented out variables set inconsistently or gratuitously,
such as Interviews settings, 8-bit German locale for root only.
o Synchronize comments in header, as well as references to appropriate man
pages.
o Remove MANPATH setting as apparently /etc/manpath.config does all that
already.
Similar changes probably need to be made in other dot.* files for root
and skel, as all of these files seem to set different aliases, environmental
variables, prompts, and have different semantics.
As a result of this patch, leaving aside the setting of a special prompt
for root, users of csh and tcsh should find similar environments when
logging in or su'ing to any account using that shell.

On a K6-2/450 with fairly fast SCSI disks, building+installing src/share/

However on a slow Alpha (233MHz) the times are 7m39.3s and 4m58.3s
