* remove all references to $ip6sitelocal and output a warning
message if the variable is defined.
* introduce $ip6uniquelocal (defaults to 'NO') that will control the
behaviour of the system when $ip6mode is ``router'' (i.e. fc00::/7
will not be routed if the variable is ``NO'') as per RFC 4193.
Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for pointing this out in PR 32152.
We've handled 16 character logins for quite some time, and we even
have packages that create >8 character accounts. There is no point in
pretending the limit is 8 any more by default.
Discussed (very lightly -- there was little comment) on tech-userlevel
when running ftpd as daemon and it will now automatically be appended to the
command line, even if ftpd_flags doesn't have it.
Suggested by Alan Barrett and Luke Mewburn, thanks.
(1) The stock sendmail.cf will only listen on the loopback interface.
(2) The stock submit.cf specifally connects to "localhost." which
should be less susceptible to being confused or looking confused.
(3) The smtp listener starts by default, if needed. The setting in
/etc/default/rc.conf is still "no", but rc.d/sendmail detects the
default setting and will change it to yes if need is determined.
Need is defined as "nothing else seems to have been changed about the
mail configuration but we'd like locally originated and locally
destined mail to be delivered". If you change, eg, mailer.conf to
point to postfix or some other MTA, sendmail will not start.

Awk code by Matt Thomas.
Default diff_options to -u, for unified-format context diffs,

This represents a behavior change.

check_passwd_nowarn_shells Don't warn about these non-/etc/shells shells
check_passwd_nowarn_users Don't warn about these users
check_passwd_permit_star Don't warn about "*" in the $2 field
Behavior change: check_passwd_nowarn_shells defaults to /sbin/nologin and
/usr/libexec/uucp/uucico, so that it will not warn about the default
master.passwd.
The rationale here is that an administrator who chooses to permit these
warnable conditions should not be warned about them day after day, yet
should not be forced to disable check_passwd entirely.
check_passwd_permit_star is primarily of interest to sites who use *'d
entries for Kerberos or ssh logins, despite the fact that we permit
"*ssh" (etc.) for this purpose (legacy).
rc_rcorder_flags extra flags to rcorder(8) in /etc/rc
rcshutdown_rcorder_flags extra flags to rcorder(8) in /etc/rc.shutdown
This can be used to specify extra directories to search for rc.d scripts in.
For example, adding the following to rc.conf(5):
rc_rcorder_flags="/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*"
rcshutdown_rcorder_flags="/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d/*"
will add the files in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d to the list of files that rcorder(8)
uses to build the list of scripts to start or stop.
I proposed this functionality on tech-userlevel@ over one month ago.
Closes the recent [misc/16888], which asked for a similar feature.
