On a real mailserver, it's too noisy and may be a privacy concern.
On a machine that's not a mailserver, it's pointless.
Besides, Theo points out that running subsystems that potentially
parse untrusted user data daily, at a predictable time, as root
is not a very good idea in the first place.

unused for now, but I plan to convert all programs in base to use it in
a future diff. /dev/bpf0 is for compatibility with existing binaries
and is to be removed after a transition period.

chance to update the *default* configuration of the important daemons.
Factorize rc.firsttime into a run_upgrade_script() function which takes the
script suffix name as an argument.

It works by adding daemon_rtable=$id in /etc/rc.conf.local.
rcctl(8) support coming in a few and so are the man pages bits.
If you want multiple instances of the same daemon running in different
routing tables, just symlink the original rc.d script.
e.g.
# cd /etc/rc.d && ln -s dhcpd dhcpd42
Then enable your daemons as such in rc.conf.local:
dhcpd_flags=
dhcpd42_flags=
dhcpd42_rtable=42
most work done by Jiri B <jirib@devio.us>; with a few tweaks and simplifications

... should make henning happy ;-)

daemon_class, daemon_flags, daemon_timeout, daemon_user, pexp
Add "pexp" as a valid variable to _rc_parse_conf() and sort the list while here.
Besides having an easy way to see how a daemon was started exactly, it opens the
door to rdomain/rtable support in rc.d(8). We need to have as much information
on a daemon as possible if we want to target a specific rtable (using -T) and it
also makes it easier to start multiple instances of the same daemon with similar
flags as a different user...
Of course that only works with rc.d scripts *not* overwritting the default rc_*
functions.
Man page tweaks coming later.

CUPS wants it to be a symlink, and that is probably the most common
printing system.  Bad idea to constantly spam everybody about that!
Antoine already adjusted the file permissions in pkg/cupsd.rc rev. 1.24.

Add /var/spool/output/lpd to mtree(1).
This removes the ability for the daemon group to write directly under
/var/spool/output; though no breakage is expected since this directory was only
supposed to contain line printer spooling directories.
