to know which daemon cannot background themselves (actually we want to
know the opposite, but there are much more). However, it's only needed in
_rc_wait and rc.subr still does its magic without the need to add `&'.
- prevent a daemon from hanging the boot
(typo in your flagsm e.g. httpd_flags=-d)
- make sure we can get the status of a backgrounded daemon instead of always
returning success
Side effect of this is that we can kill a knob! rip rc_bg :-)
Ports will need love, and a second commit is coming for that.
The diff is small yet not trivial so I am committing early in the release
process in one shot so it can easily be reverted if needed. I started working on
this during g2k16 in Cambridge then finished it in Brisbane for a2k17 where
robert@, beck@ and sthen@ agreed it was the correct way to go and I should move
ahead with it post 6.1.
If you see any regression, please talk to me!
done in ifstart(). Remove ipv6autoconf() and replace rtsolif with a boolean
variable V6_AUTOCONF. Replace dhcpif with a boolean variable V4_DHCPCONF.
Both are later used in defaultroute() to decide whether or not to configre
defaultroutes from /etc/mygate.

Now that route are automatically G/C with the address they are attached
to there's no reason to duplicate the kernel's job.
Fix a regression introduced with multipath default routes.

or carp. Ensure that the noglob option is disabled at the end of
parse_hn_line() and ifstart().
Reported by Christer Solskogen and Stefan Wollny, thanks!
hostname.if(5) parsing code in ifstart().
Add a -n option to netstart to only print the interface configuration
commands instead of executing them.
Add a HN_DIR variable, that points to the directory of the hostname.if
files (default /etc) that allows for future regression tests.
- add new parse_hn_line() function
- change ifstart()
- rename $if to $_if
- don't ifconfig or ifconfig create if -n option is used
- replace hostname.if(5) parsing code with new parse_hn_line()
- just print configuration commands if -n option is used
- autoconf now happens in ifstart(), remove ifv6autoconf()
- introduce HN_DIR variable for the hostname.if file location
- add handling of the -n option to only print config commands
- ensure -n is only used if interfaces are specified as parameters

without -Q during the build and in weekly(8). According to tests
by many developers, makewhatis(8) takes a few minutes at most even
on slower hardware like octeon, loongson, ALIX, RPI3, Soekris,
cubox, softiron etc., and security(8) is often worse than makewhatis(8).
In case this causes excessive weekly(8) run times on even slower
(~50 MHz-class) CPUs, consider adding "MAKEWHATISARGS=-Q" to
/etc/weekly.local on machines that feel unhappy.

install.sub which makes it easier to spot changes in the future.
- comments and formatting
- quotes on assignments are not needed (netstart)
- remove stray space in test (netstart)
- use $file variable with while-loop (netstart)
- although valid, instead of i use $i in arithmetic test (install.sub)

Looks good deraadt@
Instead of using the internal "vmboot", VMs will now be booted using
the external BIOS firmware in /etc/firmware/vmm-bios (which is subject
to a LGPLv3 license). Direct booting of OpenBSD kernels or
non-default BIOS images is still supported for now using the -b/boot
option that is replacing the -k/kernel option.
As requested by Theo, vmd(8) fails if neither the default BIOS is
found nor a kernel has been specified in the VM configuration. The
"vmm" BIOS has to be installed using fw_update(1), which will be done
automatically in most cases where the OpenBSD can fetch it after
install/upgrade.

machdep.lidaction=0 # do nothing
machdep.lidaction=1 # suspend
machdep.lidaction=2 # hibernate
lidsuspend is just an alias for lidaction, so if you change one, the
other one will have the same value. The plan is to remove
machdep.lidsuspend eventually when people have upgraded their
/ets/sysctl.conf.

a single configuration file for the OpenBSD repository location.
The pkg_* tools now use installurl(5) to find the package repository.
NOTE:
/etc/installurl only contains a single URL pointing to a mirror.
Use the PKG_PATH environment variable to specify more than one
package repository.

'ypbind_flags=""' when domainname is set and /var/yp/binding exists.
This can lead to inconsistent behavior at startup since /var may not be
mounted yet and /etc/rc's start_daemon() will not start ypbind.
A.K.A. make ypbind startup consistent with all other OpenBSD daemons.

/root/.ssh/authorized_keys file with correct permissions (0600 for the
file, 0700 for /root/.ssh dir). Since we encourage administrators to use
public keys only if they want to access root account via ssh, might
aswell make it easier, this will be particularly useful in
managed/provisioned environments (think ansible & others).
Note that administrators might get an e-mail from security(8) if the
file suddenly appears after an update - this is of course expected :)
ok tb@ sthen@ rpe@ ajacoutot@
raising openfiles-cur above the implicit -max value (1024 on at least the
common arch) results in the setting not being applied at all.
Earlier version OK tom@ danj@ ajacoutot@ benno@ krw@ beck@, suggestion about
openfiles= from millert@ - changes in this version are to use 1024 for -max
rather than 512 to avoid changing the existing hard limit, and just use
openfiles= for bgpd/unbound where max and cur are the same value.
