I stand corrected -- it appears to come with FreeBSD since the 4.x
days: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/cvs-all/2003-July/017624.html

I've still never heard of it though, and it's not mentioned in the
applicable manpages either.

But there's an amusing part, too:

You posted this exact question on freebsd-questions 1.5 years ago,
where you were running FreeBSD 6.1.  So this problem has little to do
with your 6.3 --> 7.0 upgrade.
