Note that due to e.g. write throttling ('wdrain'), it can stall all the disk
I/O instead of just the device it's configured for. Using it for removable
media is therefore not a good idea.

would be "/etc/namedb" in a number of places. Since the user may make
a different choice, introduce a new internal variable, named_confdir
that is generated relative to the location of $named_conf.
While this will work for some things (especially a highly customized
build from ISC source) there are still a number of places where
/etc/namedb is assumed that it is not easily virtualized (E.g., mtree).
If you deviate from the defaults you'd better know what you're doing. :)
wlan(4) interfaces. vlan(4) interfaces are listed via a new 'vlans_<IF>'
variable. If a vlan interface is a number, then that number is treated as
the vlan tag for the interface and the interface will be named '<IF>.<tag>'.
Otherwise, the vlan tag must be provided via a vlan parameter in a
'create_args_<vlan>' variable.
While I'm here, fix a few nits in rc.conf(5) and mention create_args_<IF> in
the description of cloned_interfaces.

write to. This is specified in "options { directory }" in named.conf.
So, create /etc/namedb/working with appropriate permissions, and
update the entry in named.conf to match.
In addition to specifying the working directory, file and path names
in named.conf can be specified relative to the directory listed.
However, since that directory is now different from /etc/namedb
(where the configuration, zone, rndc.*, and other files are located)
further update named.conf to specify all file names with fully
qualified paths. Also update the comment about file and path names
so users know this should be done for all file/path names in the file.
This change will eliminate the 'working directory is not writable'
messages at boot time without sacrificing security. It will also
allow for features in newer versions of BIND (9.7+) to work as
designed.

For named_conf:
Add "-c $named_conf" to command_args if it's not set to the

the user is likely to have included it in _flags (due to long
necessity for doing so) so don't duplicate that if it's set.

According to Thomas Dickey, Terminal.app should use TERM=nsterm anyway,

Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:
- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
UTF-8.
Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.
I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.
IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):
- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

By misinterpreting some data, I thought that getty wouldn't apply any
baud rate to the syscons devices, but it uses the default entry instead.
This means that the baud rate is set to 1200. This isn't too bad, except
when using canonical mode. Make it use 9600 baud by default.
MFC after: 1 week
Devices that don't implement param() (which means they don't support
hardware parameters such as flow control, baud rate) hardcode the baud
rate to TTYDEF_SPEED. This means the buffer size cannot be configured,
which is a little inconvenient when using canonical mode with big lines
of input, etc.
Make it adjustable, but do clamp it between B50 and B115200 to prevent
awkward buffer sizes. Remove the baud rate assignment from
/etc/gettytab. Trust the kernel to fill in a proper value.

employ a more generic solution, and use it in the individual rc.d scripts
that also have an $rc_quiet test:
1. Add check_startmsgs() to rc.subr.
2. In the rc.d scripts that use rc_quiet (and rc.subr) substitute
variations of [ -z "$rc_quiet" ] with check_startmsgs
3. In savecore add a trailing '.' to the end of the message to make it
more consistent with other scripts.
4. In newsyslog remove a : before the terminal '.' since we do not expect
there to be anything printed out in between to make it more consistent.
5. In the following scripts change "quotes" to 'quotes' where no variables
exist in the message: savecore pf newsyslog
6. In the following scripts substitute if/then/fi for the simpler (and
more consistent) check_startmsgs &&: faith stf
7. In the following scripts separate the "Starting foo:" from the terminal
'.' to make them more consistent: moused hostname pf
8. In nfsclient move the message to its own line to avoid a style bug
9. In pf rc_quiet does not apply to the _stop method, so remove the
test there.
10. In motd add 'quotes' around the terminal '.' for consistency
for each address family. Replace AF_static() with static_AF() for
consistency.
- Display a message only if the user sets a non-default value, and set
a sysctl explicitly even if it is the default value.
- Split netoptions_start() to netoptions_AF() and add afexists() check
for each address family.
- Display a message only if the user sets a non-default value, and set
a sysctl explicitly even if it is the default value.
