What is the thing you're checking the value 700044 for?

    http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/freebsd-versions.html
    700044
        7.0-CURRENT after changing the argument for vn_open()/VOP_OPEN()
        from filedescriptor index to the struct file *.
    700045
        7.0-CURRENT after changing pam_nologin(8) to provide an account
        management function instead of an authentication function to the
        PAM framework.
