(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.

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.
make -V FILES
from being useful (and given that every other variable can be
extracted using make -V, the behaviour was unusually inconsistent
given that the original reason for clearing it doesn't seem to be
relevant anymore)
- use <bsd.prog.mk> instead of directly including <bsd.files.mk>
(and possibly <bsd.man.mk> or <bsd.own.mk>)
- remove obsolete NOPROG
Replace $critical_filesystems with $critical_filesystems_remote .
The new names are now consistent with the type argument that
mount_critical_filesystems() is called with, and allows for other types to
be easily supported by that function.
For backwards compatibility purposes, if the now obsolete variable is defined
(even empty), it takes precedence over the new form, and you will be warned.
If you want to stop the warnings, update your rc.conf(5) settings!
If set to yes, block-type swap partitions will be deleted upon shutdown.
This can be useful if swapping onto a RAIDframe device, but may cause
unnecessary delays during shutdown for the general case, so it's
disabled by default.
Should resolve [bin/14433] and [kern/14769].
keep state to be locked (modification prevented) and then saved to disk,
allowing for the system to experience a reboot, followed by the restoration
of that information, resulting in connections not being interrupted.
To activate this feature, set ipfs=YES in /etc/rc.conf
of all installed pkgs and their +CONTENTS and +REQUIRED_BY files (if
they have one) and handling this file along with all the other
CHANGELIST stuff.
Greg Woods gets points for coming up with the idea.
Luke Mewburn asked me to do it, and provided lots of criticism along
the way.

Default behaviour unchanged. backup_dir being unset is taken as /var/backup.
consistent with what FreeBSD uses /etc/defaults for and since SVR4
