Hard Disk parameters (caching/dma)

Linux uses hdparm to set these parameters, my question is: what tool uses BSD systems (FreeBSD/OpenBSD/NetBSD)? There is another thing which FreeBSD implements on their filesystems: softupdates. If I forgot to enable this option when I partitioned the disk, how could I enable it at a later time?

pam_auth

pam_auth(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       pam_auth(8)

NAME

       pam_auth - Squid PAM authentication helper

SYNOPSIS

       squid_pam_auth [-n "service name"] [-t TTL] [-o] [-1]

DESCRIPTION

       This helper allows Squid to connect to a mostly any available PAM database to validate the user name and password of Basic HTTP authentica-
       tion.

       -s service-name
	      Specifies the PAM service name Squid uses, defaults to "squid"

       -t TTL Enables persistent PAM connections where the connection to the PAM database is kept open and reused for new logins. The  TTL  speci-
	      fies  how long the connection will be kept open (in seconds).  Default is to not keep PAM connections open. Please note that the use
	      of persistent PAM connections is slightly outside the PAM specification and may not work with all PAM configurations.

       -o     Do not perform the PAM account management group (account expiration etc)

CONFIGURATION

       The program needs a PAM service to be configured in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/<servicename>

       The default service name is "squid", and the program makes use of the 'auth' and 'account' management groups to verify the password and the
       accounts validity.

       For  details  on  how  to  configure  PAM services, see the PAM documentation for your system. This manual does not cover PAM configuration
       details.

NOTES

       When used for authenticating to local UNIX shadow password databases the program must be running as root or else it won't  have	sufficient
       permissions  to access the user password database. Such use of this program is not recommended, but if you absolutely need to then make the
       program setuid root

	      chown root pam_auth
	      chmod u+s pam_auth

       Please note that in such configurations it is also strongly recommended that the program is moved into a directory where normal users  can-
       not access it, as this mode of operation will allow any local user to brute-force other users passwords. Also note the program has not been
       fully audited and the author cannot be held responsible for any security issues due to such installations.
