btuartd(8) should be named btattach(8) for consistency
with other parts of NetBSD
make btattach(8) a single-use tool for less complexity
device specicific initialisation (from btuart(4)) is carried
out prior to activating the line discipline (in btattach(8)),
which simplifies the API somewhat and means that the user
tool and the kernel do not need to be kept in sync.
btuart(4) driver is much reduced; naming is made consistent
and all tsleep() and delay() are removed to userland
release) to not start postfix if $postfix is not explicitely set and
another mailer is selected in /etc/mailer.conf. Also print a warning if it
happens because the mailer in rc.conf is the removed sendmail.
This prevents starting two MTAs at once if one uses a custom MTA.
As proposed on tech-userlevel, approved by martin.
(Part 4: documentation and configuration files)
* Support for detachable sensors.
* Cleaned up the API for simplicity and efficiency.
* Ability to send capacity/critical/warning events to powerd(8).
* Adapted all the code to the new locking order.
* Compatibility with the old envsys API: the ENVSYS_GTREINFO
and ENVSYS_GTREDATA ioctl(2)s are supported.
* Added support for a 'dictionary based communication channel' between
sysmon_power(9) and powerd(8), that means there is no 32 bytes event
size restriction anymore.
* Binary compatibility with old envstat(8) and powerd(8) via COMPAT_40.
* All drivers with the n^2 gtredata bug were fixed, PR kern/36226.

Bug fixes:
- Fix crash reported by Scott Ellis on current-users@.
- Fix race conditions in enforcing the Veriexec rename and remove
policies. These are NOT security issues.
- Fix memory leak in rename handling when overwriting a monitored
file.
- Fix table deletion logic.
- Don't prevent query requests if not in learning mode.
KPI updates:
- fileassoc_table_run() now takes a cookie to pass to the callback.
- veriexec_table_add() was removed, it is now done internally. As a
result, there's no longer a need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE.
- veriexec_report() was removed, it is now internal.
- Perform sanity checks on the entry type, and enforce default type
in veriexec_file_add() rather than in veriexecctl.
- Add veriexec_flush(), used to delete all Veriexec tables, and
veriexec_dump(), used to fill an array with all Veriexec entries.
New features:
- Add a '-k' flag to veriexecctl, to keep the filenames in the kernel
database. This allows Veriexec to produce slightly more accurate
logs under certain circumstances. In the future, this can be either
replaced by vnode->pathname translation, or combined with it.
- Add a VERIEXEC_DUMP ioctl, to dump the entire Veriexec database.
This can be used to recover a database if the file was lost.
Example usage:
# veriexecctl dump > /etc/signatures
Note that only entries with the filename kept (that is, were loaded
with the '-k' flag) will be dumped.
Idea from Brett Lymn.
- Add a VERIEXEC_FLUSH ioctl, to delete all Veriexec entries. Sample
usage:
# veriexecctl flush
- Add a 'veriexec_flags' rc(8) variable, and make its default have
the '-k' flag. On systems using the default signatures file
(generaetd from running 'veriexecgen' with no arguments), this will
use additional 32kb of kernel memory on average.
- Add a '-e' flag to veriexecctl, to evaluate the fingerprint during
load. This is done automatically for files marked as 'untrusted'.
Misc. stuff:
- The code for veriexecctl was massively simplified as a result of
eliminating the need for VERIEXEC_TABLESIZE, and now uses a single
pass of the signatures file, making the loading somewhat faster.
- Lots of minor fixes found using the (still under development)
Veriexec regression testsuite.
- Some of the messages Veriexec prints were improved.
- Various documentation fixes.
All relevant man-pages were updated to reflect the above changes.
Binary compatibility with existing veriexecctl binaries is maintained.

Add rebuild_whatisdb weekly variable that defaults to NO.
This is for running makewhatis weekly.
This defaults to NO because it is not needed using just base sets/default
install which provide the whatis.db file(s).
Enabled via per_user_tmp in /etc/rc.conf (default off).
See security(8) and rc.conf(5) for more details.
Lots of input from thorpej@ & christos@, thanks!

Drivers for both PCMCIA and USB bluetooth controllers are included.
* remove all references to $ip6sitelocal and output a warning
message if the variable is defined.
* introduce $ip6uniquelocal (defaults to 'NO') that will control the
behaviour of the system when $ip6mode is ``router'' (i.e. fc00::/7
will not be routed if the variable is ``NO'') as per RFC 4193.
Thanks to Jonathan A. Kollasch for pointing this out in PR 32152.
We've handled 16 character logins for quite some time, and we even
have packages that create >8 character accounts. There is no point in
pretending the limit is 8 any more by default.
Discussed (very lightly -- there was little comment) on tech-userlevel
when running ftpd as daemon and it will now automatically be appended to the
command line, even if ftpd_flags doesn't have it.
Suggested by Alan Barrett and Luke Mewburn, thanks.
(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.

Add some etc/ subdir Makefiles where appropriate.
