            Bug ID: 215114
           Summary: webcamd(8) should require cuse(3), *not* cuse4bsd(3)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: mexas at bris.ac.uk

This is regarding this panic:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=215000

>From scf@:

"I do not see that panic, however, I do suspect it is the specific cuse module
you are loading.  It is possible that you are loading a module compiled for 10
when you are running 11.  Regardless, you should not be loading cuse4bsd any
longer.  cuse(4) is part of FreeBSD 11 now. cuse_load="YES" is what you want."

Indeed that suggestion solved the panic.
So the webcamd(8) man page seems out of date:

WEBCAMD(8)              FreeBSD System Manager's Manual             WEBCAMD(8)
*skip*

     webcamd requires the cuse4bsd(3) kernel module. To load the driver as a
     module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

            cuse4bsd_load="YES"

It should say cuse(3) and cuse_load instead.
