* Change the definition of struct if_data's member ifi_epoch from wallBrooks Davis2005-02-251-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | clock time to uptime because wall clock time may go backwards. This is a change in the API which will impact SNMP agents who are using ifi_epoch to set RFC2233's ifCounterDiscontinuityTime. None are know to exist today. This will not impact applications that are using the <index, epoch> tuple to verify interface uniqueness except that it eliminates a race which could lead to a false assumption of uniqueness. Because this is a behavior change, bump __FreeBSD_version.

* Remove RFC1644 T/TCP support from the TCP side of the network stack.Andre Oppermann2004-11-021-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A complete rationale and discussion is given in this message and the resulting discussion: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?4177C8AD.6060706 Note that this commit removes only the functional part of T/TCP from the tcp_* related functions in the kernel. Other features introduced with RFC1644 are left intact (socket layer changes, sendmsg(2) on connection oriented protocols) and are meant to be reused by a simpler and less intrusive reimplemention of the previous T/TCP functionality.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | passing along socket information. This is required to work around a LOR with the socket code which results in an easy reproducible hard lockup with debug.mpsafenet=1. This commit does *not* fix the LOR, but enables us to do so later. The missing piece is to turn the filter locking into a leaf lock and will follow in a seperate (later) commit. This will hopefully be MT5'ed in order to fix the problem for RELENG_5 in forseeable future.

* Amend the named chroot update instructions by adding a stop and startDoug Barton2004-09-281-0/+2

* Create a named chroot directory structure in /var/named, and use itDoug Barton2004-09-281-0/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by default when named is enabled. Also, improve our default directory layout by creating /var/named/etc/namedb/{master|slave} directories, and use the former for the generated localhost* files. Rather than using pax to copy device entries, mount devfs in the chroot directory. There may be some corner cases where things need to be adjusted, but overall this structure has been well tested on a production network, and should serve the needs of the vast majority of users. UPDATING has instructions on how to do the conversion for those with existing configurations. Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=135875

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | complete backout as the ntpd_sync_on_start etc/rc.conf tunable is still present, though the default is now NO (was YES). Since we're no longer syncing time at startup by default when ntpd is enabled (as was the case 24hrs ago), remove UPDATING entry pointing out that ntpd(1) -g is slower than ntpdate(1). Hopefully ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" can be made the default for -CURRENT after 5.3 is cut. At the very least, this should be set to YES when a user requests to have ntpd enabled via sysinstall(1).

* Stop using ntpdate(1) in our startup proceedure. Replace ntpdate(1) withSean Chittenden2004-09-141-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | calls to ntpd -g. ntpd is noticably slower than ntpdate, but is also more accurate. This removes the nasty hackery in rc.d/ntpdate that would parse out ntp servers from /etc/ntp.conf (ntpd knows how to read its own config file). By default, ntpd *will* sync with its listed time servers. To turn this off so that ntpd does not sync, ntpd_sync_on_start="NO" can be added to /etc/rc.conf. If ntpd is not enabled (the default), then time is not synced on startup. ntpdate's use has been depreciated by the ntpd authors for quite some time so this change shouldn't be unexpected.
