* use "ln -fs foo bar" instead of "rm -f bar; ln -s foo bar"
* remove unnecessary chown root or chgrp wheel directives; older code here
didn't bother doing this, so why be inconsistent
* when making directories, don't use -p and don't redirect stdout to /dev/null
* clean up whitespace
* wrap the main parser code in a function makedev(), and call makedev
instead of "sh $0". (this is a bit faster)
* don't barf when we have fdesc mounted; just skip the devices fdesc provides

- Don't su(1) to ${name}_user if running as that user.
- Support $procname as the name of the process to search for.
Defaults to the value of $command.
I can't remember the rationale for why I made that change in the first place,
and there's been some good arguments presented to me as to why the rcvar
should be checked before status is run.
- always unset the variables used by run_rc_command() before sourcing an
rc.d script, rather than just when rc_fast_and_loose is in effect.
this allows run_rc_command() to be used in .sh scripts (with care).
- remove comment describing now-former limitation of .sh scripts.
- make the rc_fast_and_loose check only after the `` not *.sh / not scratch
/ script-is-executable '' checks. rc_fast_and_loose now behaves a lot more
like the normal operation, in that it skips scratch files and
non-executable files
you'll see the following message:
# /etc/rc.d/ipfs stop
/etc/rc.d/ipfs: WARNING: $ipfs is not set properly.
This horrible change is needed because of the "shutdown" keyword.
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

"pty0 pty1 pty2 pty3" before, for a total of 64 device nodes, we now want
just "pty0" for a total of 62 -- the original commit had "pty0 pty1" for a
total of 124, which ate too many inodes and made "ls /dev" a bit messy.
Changes taken from the i386 MAKEDEV. Note that the unusual use of 'dd'
to index an array was chosen because 'dd' is on all ports' install media.
This form of this change comes from Andrew Brown; the original idea to
bump the number of ptys this way comes from Brian Marcotte at Panix.
The openpty() routine has been modified to use the extra pty names
before the "traditional" names, so that programs too dumb to use
openpty() will, hopefully, find one of the "traditional" ptys free
even if many others are in use. The modifications to MAKEDEV are
courtesy Andrew Brown, and are pretty clever: the unit numbers used
by the "traditional" names stay the same, to avoid trouble when
upgrading existing systems. The unusual use of "dd" to index an
array in MAKEDEV is because no other simple method seemed feasible
using only the programs on the install media for all ports.

- add the following targets to the RELEASEDIR=="" check:
iso_image_mi iso-image_md_pre iso-image_md_post snap_kern
- improve comments around make .flow control statements (including adding
some helper # { ... # } comments around large .if statements for (ab)use
with vi showmatch mode)
- clean up whitespace
at the end, and as wscons (actually ttyE0) is required to login on the console,
it is probably better that an out of space MAKEDEV fail on some other device.
and links exist:
${ntpd_chrootdir}/dev/clockctl
/var/db/ntp.drift -> ${ntpd_chrootdir}/var/db/ntp.drift
and then start ntpd with the appropriate options to run chroot(2)ed
under $ntpd_chrootdir as user ntpd group ntpd.
to take advantage of this, set ntpd_chrootdir in /etc/rc.conf.
[this is based on similar work i did for rc.d/named]
