Summary of 4.8 update

There are changes to the internals of the jail(8) command and changes to
parameter names in the periodic files that have occurred in FreeBSD
Release 10.2 that effects jail behavior in a very minor way.

This version of qjail has an built in auto convert function that fixes 
those minor behavior problems with existing jails. This auto convert function
is not documented in the qjail manual. Its only shown in the port install 
output.  Issue [ qjail update -u ] from the host console.

This will cause the existing "flavors" default & ssh-default directories to be
renamed and new ones populated. Then in each existing jail the periodic.conf
and newsyslog.conf files will be renamed with .saved suffix and new ones added.
The rc.conf file will be updated in place changing the
syslogd_enable= parameter value from "NO" to "YES".

The new periodic.conf file has many sendmail reporting options disabled because
sendmail is disabled in the jails rc.conf file by default. This drastically
reduces the daily. weekly, monthly system and security status reports elapse
run times. This has a major effect on operating system performance where there
are a large number of jails.
