as target for a bunch of MLINKS. This had the effect that whatever came
last in install overwrote everything from the other camp.
Solve this by renaming the libc page -- this makes sense because no
function is really named "getcap" here.

the name is from user space.
modstat -n NAME works again.

little or no swap.
- even on a severe swap shortage, if we have some amount of file-backed pages,
don't bother to kill processes.
- if all pages in queue will be likely reactivated, just give up
page type balancing rather than spinning unnecessarily.
the "security" extension and to "freeze" it. With the security extension
frozen, disk passwords cannot be set anymore, until the next hard reset.
Normally, this is the business of the BIOS, but older/buggy/embedded
BIOSes don't care. This leaves the (theoretical) possibility that a
malicious program in posession of superuser rights sets a disk password,
rendering the disk useless (or at least uneconomical to recover from).
Inspired by an article in the german "ct" magazine.
Being here, consolidate the implementations of IDENTIFY into one, and
fix an obvious alignment problem.
`spamd-setup', and `spamdb' as `pfspamd', `pfspamd-setup', and `pfspamdb'.
To quote Steven M. Bellovin:
This [having a program in basesrc with the same name as a widely used and
completely different program in pkgsrc] is a seriously bad idea; it
violates the rule of least surprise. That's bad enough in normal
situations; here, we're talking about security. You do *not* want to
confuse people about security features; they're hard enough to get right
as is.
in inline asm and include turning the DMMU off and back on. This
prevents the compiler (especially gcc -O0) from inserting accesses to
locations in virtual address space when such accesses would fail.
connect(2) in xconnect() by temporarily setting O_NONBLOCK
on the socket and using xpoll() to wait for the operation
to succeed.
The timeout used is the '-q quittime' argument (defaults to
60s for accept(2), and the system default for connect(2)).
Idea inspired by discussion with Chuck Cranor.
This may (indirectly) fix various problems with timeouts
in active mode through broken firewalls.
Implement xpoll() as a wrapper around poll(2), to make it
easier to replace on systems without a functional poll(2).
Unconditionally use xpoll() instead of conditionally using
select(2) or poll(2).
