"options INET6" in the kernel.

99db3ac727 To say deprecated' is to say that lookup file bind' still works, but is
discouraged and may someday be replaced. Instead, use words like `ignored'
and `superseded', which describe the true situation.

so we shouldn't override it with versions in the manpages.  Many more to
come.

eddf0f4e2c increase the securelevel (using the same rules as before) much earlier in the
boot process.  before cron, sendmail, inetd, etc, are run, but after lkms are
loaded.  this avoids the chances of `@reboot', mail .forwards, remote logins,
etc., happening before the securelevel has been raised.
