- Allows overriding default from /etc/npf.conf
- Indicate rules file used in output
- Drop check for file presence in script - rely on npf exiting with error
Otherwise in systems without certctl_init=YES, such as systems
installed with sysinst(8) where it's unnecessary because the rehash
has already happened at install time, you'll get spurious warnings.

We no longer block indefinitely -- if nothing else, the hardclock
timer should yield enough samples to unblock /dev/random on all but
the most severely deterministic machines -- so it should be generally
safe for availability to set entropy=wait.
This doesn't guarantee that HWRNG/seed has been provided before you
run ssh-keygen or call getentropy(3) in a user application, but it
does raise the security above netbsd<=9.

The default is to execute the script (iscsid_volumes=YES), so if you have
any volumes defined, you should also start iscsid (iscsid=YES) to avoid
error messages.
- New /etc/security check for entropy in daily security report.
- New /etc/rc.d/entropy script runs (after random_seed and rndctl) to
check for entropy at boot -- in rc.conf, you can:
. set `entropy=check' to halt multiuser boot and enter single-user
mode if not enough entropy
. set `entropy=wait' to make multiuser boot wait until enough entropy
Default is to always boot without waiting -- and rely on other
channels like security report to alert the operator if there's a
problem.
- New man page entropy(7) discussing the higher-level concepts and
system integration with cross-references.
- New paragraph in afterboot(8) about entropy citing entropy(7) for
more details.
This change addresses many of the issues discussed in security/55659.
This is a first draft; happy to take improvements to the man pages and
scripted messages to improve clarity.
I considered changing motd to include an entropy warning with a
reference to the entropy(7) man page, but it's a little trickier:
- Not sure it's appropriate for all users to see at login rather than
users who have power to affect the entropy estimate (maybe it is,
just haven't decided).
- We only have a mechanism for changing once at boot; the message would
remain until next boot even if an operator adds enough entropy.
- The mechanism isn't really conducive to making a message appear
conditionally from boot to boot.
My personal preferencese for /etc/rc.conf:
update_motd_release=YES
motd_release_tag='Binaries: '
This provides an explanation to users about the second version in motd.
in the ZFS properties of the dataset and a simple man page for
mount_zfs. With this, it is possible to put ZFS filesystems in
/etc/fstab as file system type zfs.
Add a rc.d script that kicks the module ZFS load mostly before
mountall runs simular to what LVM does. This allows for any legacy
mounts to be specified in critical_local_filesystems and allows for
ZFS pools on top of cgd (probably among other things). Introduce a
rc.conf variable called zfs which needs to be set to YES, in the usual
manor of things, to get zvols and ZFS dataset support rather then just
assume that 'zfs mount' does that in mountall. Fix a problem in
mountall if ZFS is not compiled into the system.
parses the output of cpuctl, and executes "cpuctl offline" for each CPU
that has SmtID!=0.
The default is "smtoff=NO", which means that SMT remains enabled.
when unmounting tmpfs file systems at shutdown time, avoid unmounting
a tmpfs created by init on /dev - behaviour overridable from rc.conf.
By default all tmpfs that have device nodes are not mounted.
wait for 15 seconds for tentative flags to clear allowing 5 seconds
for detached flags to clear as well from configured addresses.
This is now protocol independant and allows time for the interfaces to
work out if they have a carrier or not.
the system attempts to resize the root file system to fill it's
partition prior to mounting read-write. Useful for things like AMI
file system images. May eventually be used by arm images after
coming up with similar solution for increasing the parition size.
