Use these new functions instead of printf(1), which is scheduled for
removal as a shell builtin command, and which will not be available as a
standalone utility if MAKEDEV is run prior to mounting /usr.

smmsp - sendmail 8.12 operates as a set-group-ID binary (instead of
set-user-ID). This new user/group will be used for command line
submissions. UID/GID 25 is suggested in the sendmail documentation and has
been adopted by other operating systems such as OpenBSD and Solaris 9.
mailnull - The default value for DefaultUser is now set to the uid and gid
of the first existing user mailnull, sendmail, or daemon that has a
non-zero uid. If none of these exist, sendmail reverts back to the old
behavior of using uid 1 and gid 1. Currently FreeBSD uses daemon for
DefaultUser but I would prefer not to use an account used by other
programs, hence the addition of mailnull. UID/GID 26 has been chosen for
this user.
This was discussed on -arch on October 18-19, 2001.

the idea of not masking passwords on comments in case the
administrator comments out an entry without clearing the

security impact) when doing the diff of the old and new passwd file.

continuation lines, extra whitespace, and to use the last matching
line in the file. This syncs the host.conf generation with how
the nsswitch.conf is parsed.
Only print " host.conf" instead of a multi-line message, since this
happens on every boot.
- if nsswitch.conf exists, host.conf is auto-generated for compatibility
with legacy applications and libraries.
- if host.conf exists but nsswitch.conf does not, nsswitch.conf is auto-
generated as usual.
