Correct the description of vfs.zfs.arc_max.
Update the description of the default value for the vgs.zfs.arc_max tunable.
It changed since the chapter was written and this patch updates it to the
definition in the code.
I'm still not sure who's responsible on this but in fact virtual category
is already implemented at r508887 with portmgr approval. I'm assembling the
rest of the parts documentation.

The most common use case for blacklistd is to add excessive
SSH login attempts to the list of hosts to be blocked. The
user can define when that should happen and how long the IPs
should be listed there. The chapter describes the syntax and
how to set it up.
The examples use PF, but it is possible to use other firewalls
with blacklistd as well.

Ntpd has evolved considerably in recent years and the handbook has fallen
out of date. Notable updates include...
- The sample ntp.conf file in the handbook was a bad example that, if used,
would expose the user to potential network attacks or exploits by
allowing full query and control access to ntpd. The sample config now
contains the restrict options that are considered current best practices
for a public-facing ntpd daemon. The config would actually work (and be
safe) even if a user just blindly cut and pastes it.
- The new(-ish) ntp.conf 'pool' keyword is featured prominently in the
sample, and the existence of the FreeBSD project-sponsored pool is
documented.
- Separate subsections now exist for ntp.conf and the rc.conf variables
that affect how ntpd runs. The existence and effect of the un-obvious
ntpd_oomprotect rc variable is mentioned.
- A new subsection describes running ntpd as the unpriveleged ntpd user. It
details how certain configurations can prevent the rc.d script from
automatically running ntpd unpriveleged, and describes how to manually
configure unpriveleged operation in those cases.
- It now mentions the fact that firewalls need to be configured to pass udp
packets on port 123 for ntpd to operate.
