* Check (and fix) files/directories permissions

* pseduo key device to unlock dm-crypt/tcplay encrypted volume
  - a frontend to dm-crypt/tcplay, respectively
  - accept user's password, then create a pseudo key device (with an ID)
  - use the created key device to unlock the dm-crypt/tcplay volume
  - if unlock successfully, keep this pseudo key device; otherwise, destroy
    it and re-ask user for the password
  - after first-stage boot (only root is unlocked and mounted), other
    encrypted volumes can ask the key device to unlock them
  - if failed, then ask user for password, then another key device (for the
    new password with different ID) is created for unlocking other volumes
  - never reveal the plain password! similar the SSH authentication or ACME
    challenge processes.
  - see also pubkey auth mechanism (e.g., ssh)
  - symmetric key derivation (e.g., enchive: https://github.com/skeeto/enchive)

* find(1): pseudo fstype: local; inconsistent with mount(8)
  e.g.,
  mount(8) says: /build/var.log on /var/log (null) -> no "local"
  but "find /var/log -fstype local ..." gives results.

    configuration on the host side
  - DHCP-PD should be handled in the rc.d script
  - deprecate rtsold(8) since it's confusing to have both rtsold and dhcpcd
