names in it. We therefore now depend on it.
However, this would have then created a circular dependency because named
depended on "SERVERS", and racoon was before SERVERS and required kdc,
and kdc needs the time to be right and thus depended on ntp.
Instead, have named depend on NETWORKING (so that there is a network
there), mountcritremote (so we know that named has a directory to work
from) and syslogd (so that named has some place to spew information).
I'm not sure this is perfect, but it is certainly a big improvement
over constantly failing ntpdate runs during boot.
NETWORKING, and SERVERS) by specifying that certain things should
come BEFORE a given barrier, rather than having the barrier REQUIRE
a service. This allows scripts to be removed without having to
edit the barrier dependencies.
As discussed on tech-userlevel, and approved by Luke.
make them "externally" available:
Previous Current Purpose
-------- ------- -------
_arg rc_arg Argument to command, after fast/force
processing performed (and prefix
removed)
_flags rc_flags Flags to start the default command
with. Defaults to ${name}_flags,
unless overridden by $flags from the
environment. This variable may be
changed by the precmd method.
_pid rc_pid PID of command (if appropriate).
_rc_run_fast rc_fast Not empty is "fast" was provided.
_rc_run_force rc_force Not empty is "force" was provided.
- Use rc_flags instead of _flags or ${name}_flags in various rc.d scripts,
so that $flags from the environment overrides ${name}_flags from rc.conf(5).
Fixes [bin/15800].

${named_chrootdir}/usr/libexec/named-xfer

/var/run/named.pid -> ${named_chrootdir}/var/run/named.pid
/var/run/ndc -> ${named_chrootdir}/var/run/ndc
and then start named with the appropriate options to run chroot(2)ed
under $named_chrootdir as user named group named.
to take advantage of this, an admin should copy /etc/namedb ->
${named_chrootdir}/etc/namedb, and set named_chrootdir in /etc/rc.conf.
[dev/null & etc/localtime setup inspired by openbsd. i already had the rest]
implicitly using $name if $rcvar isn't set), and always perform this check,
even when using start_cmd (et al).
this check is performed before the pidcmd
is run, speeding up scripts that weren't going to be run anyway.
this should speed up booting slow systems.
- take advantage of the above and remove
start_precmd="checkyesno foo"
in scripts that use start_cmd.
- explicitly set rcvar=foo in the rc.d/foo scripts which have an equivalent
rc.conf entry
- fix `rcvar' and `restart' when $rcvar isn't set.
these above changes fix PR [bin/11027].
- when doing `force*', ignore the return value of *_precmd.
this fixes PR [bin/10781].
- rename what sysdb provides from `databases' to `sysdb', to reflect
the name of the script.
- improve the comments in rc.subr
