Before 1.3.30, loading the blacklist was delayed until about 30 seconds
after dccd started.  If a hyper-active clients whose IP address is in
the blacklist made a request during those first 30 seconds, not only
would the request be answered, but future requests would also be answered
until the blacklist changed and dccd noticed and loaded the new version.

Only the public DCC servers use the blacklist of bad DCC clients.  Only
the largest blacklisted clients of the public DCC servers such as utk.edu
were leaked.

is dcc/libexec/uninstalldcc really relevant for the FreeBSD user?
