c534bd449e Support mounting ext2fs file systems with -async to the small extent
that ext2fs in the kernel supports async mounts.  ext2fs used to
effectively force the -async flag on.  -async for ext2fs only gives
async (more precisely, delayed) writes for inode updates, so it is
barely worth using even when it is safe.

1922fd129e Initial import of RFC 2385 (TCP-MD5) digest support.
This is the second of two commits; bring in the userland support to finish.

Teach libipsec and setkey about the tcp-md5 class of security associations,
thus allowing administrators to add per-host keys to the SADB for use by
the tcpsignature_compute() function.

Document that a single SPI must be used until such time as the code which
adds support to the SPD to specify flows for tcp-md5 treatment is suitable
for production.

c8bb99e577 Certain ICMP error replies cause ping to perform a reverse DNS
lookup on an IP address from the packet (such as the IP that sent
a TTL exceeded error). If the DNS lookup takes a long time, ^C will
appear to be ineffective since the SIGINT handler just sets a flag
and returns. Work around this by exiting immediately on receipt of
a second SIGINT when DNS lookups are enabled.

59f256ec35 Don't print the oldest line in the message buffer if the buffer is
full, since that line is almost always incomplete. Make the parsing
of <%d> lines more strict.

Also simplify the logic a little:
 - Start off by making the buffer linear so that we don't have to
   deal with it wrapping around (suggested by bde).
 - Process line by line rather than byte at a time.

ae62d94069 Fixed operation of -f to match its documentation and fsck_ffs. It
has now has no effect except in combination with -p, and plain fsck
checks all file systems instead of skipping clean ones for msdosfs
only.

fsck_ffs.

910da6c689 Fixed some bugs in checkdirty(). The check for the clean bit was
combined with the the signature check in a wrong way (basically
(dirty:= signature_recognised() && !clean) instead of
(mightbedirty:= !signature_recognized || !clean), so file systems
with unrecognized signatures were considered clean.  Many of the
don't-care and reserved bits were not ignored, so some file systems
with valid signatures were unrecognized.  One of my FAT32 file systems
has a signature of f8,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,ff,f7 when dirty, but only
f8,ff,ff,0f,ff,ff,ff,07 was recognised as dirty for FAT32, so the
fail-unsafeness made my file system always considered clean.

Check the i/o non-error bit in checkdirty().  Its absence would give
an unrecognized signature in code that is unaware of it, but we now
mask it out of the signature so we have to check it explicitly.  This
combines naturally with the check of the clean bit.

8e9c564a11 Document the dirty flag and other bits in the first 2 FAT entries
better.  There is a related I/O error flag which we don't support in
the kernel but must support here.  (Support for bits that we don't
understand here is mostly automatic by fail-safeness, but checkdirty()
has fail-unsafeness.)  There are some reserved and don't-care bits
that weren't fully documented and aren't always masked properly.  The
comment about the bits in readfat() will be removed when the masking
is fixed.

dc9c6194b5 Made use of MNT_USER flag and inform about user responsible for mount
in those cases:
1. File system was mounted by an unprivileged user.
2. File system was mounted by an unprivileged root user.
3. File system was mounted by a privileged non-root user.

Point 1 is when file system was mounted by unprivileged user
(sysctl vfs.usermount was equal to 1 then).

Point 2 is when file system was mounted by root, while sysctl
security.bsd.suser_enabled is set to 0 and sysctl vfs.usermount
is set to 1.

Point 3 is because we want to be ready for capabilities.

05779418cd Don't include the file system ID in the output of `mount -v' if it
is all zeros. The kernel now consistently zeroes FSIDs for non-root
users, so there's no point in printing these.

Also fix a number of compiler warnings, including two real bugs:
- a bracket placement bug caused `mount -t ufs localhost:/foo /mnt'
  to override the `-t ufs' specification and use mount_nfs.
- an unitialised variable was used instead of _PATH_SYSPATH when
  warning that the mount_* program cound not be found.

d46b52859a Convert the live dump command (`dump -L') to use mksnap_ffs instead
of trying to directly create the snapshot itself. This change allows
users logged into the system as operator to run live dumps.

Note that dump no longer tries to create the snapshot in the root of
the filesystem, but rather in a .snap directory in the root of the
filesystem. The reason is that the operator is usually not permitted
to write into the root of the filesystem. The newfs command and
background fsck have both been modified to create a .snap directory
in the root of the filesystem, but if neither of these have been run,
then the .snap directory must be created manually by the superuser
before a live dump can be run. The .snap directory should be owned
by user root and group operator and set to mode 770.

Kirk McKusick
524ee1107f Create a .snap directory mode 770 group operator in the root of
a new filesystem. Dump and fsck will create snapshots in this
directory rather than in the root for two reasons:

1) For terabyte-sized filesystems, the snapshot may require many
   minutes to build. Although the filesystem will not be suspended
   during most of the snapshot build, the snapshot file itself is
   locked during the entire snapshot build period. Thus, if it is
   accessed during the period that it is being built, the process
   trying to access it will block holding its containing directory
   locked. If the snapshot is in the root, the root will lock and
   the system will come to a halt until the snapshot finishes. By
   putting the snapshot in a subdirectory, it is out of the likely
   path of any process traversing through the root and hence much
   less likely to cause a lock race to the root.

2) The dump program is usually run by a non-root user running with
   operator group privilege. Such a user is typically not permitted
   to create files in the root of a filesystem. By having a directory
   in group operator with group write access available, such a user
   will be able to create a snapshot there. Having the dump program
   create its snapshot in a subdirectory below the root will benefit
   from point (1) as well.

truncate them.  I dont know if sscanf will reject an integer if it will
not fit in the short return variable or not, but this way it should be
detected.

f95d46333d Switch Advanced Sockets API for IPv6 from RFC2292 to RFC3542
(aka RFC2292bis).  Though I believe this commit doesn't break
backward compatibility againt existing binaries, it breaks
backward compatibility of API.
Now, the applications which use Advanced Sockets API such as
telnet, ping6, mld6query and traceroute6 use RFC3542 API.

1c614e098d Fix several old bugs which got worse over time:
o WARNS should be WARNS?= (broke in rev 1.21).
o Includes should be sorted.
o Move "mntopt.h" out of the standard includes section.
o Rewrite usage() to match the manual page and make it < 80 characters.
o Remove extra .El call on line 187.  It is unused and causes mdoc(7) warnings.

c80f12d0af Reduce fstab(5)/mount(8) confusion by changing the man pages to say "ro"
instead of "rdonly".  "rdonly" works for mount(8) and mount_std(8) but
not from /etc/fstab, whereas "ro" works for all mount_*(8) commands.

d6ad008082 Change the default mode for lost+found from 01777 to 0700. The
original intention of the less restrictive permissions was to allow
users to move or delete recovered files that they own. However, it
is better to not create world-writable directories by default; the
administrator can always pre-create lost+found if different permissions
are desired.

4b290df1dd Revision 1.61 changed the allocation of buffer 'buf' in DoFile() from
the stack to the heap to work around a problem on ia64. Now, roughly
16 months and two compiler updates later, it isn't an issue anymore
in the sense that putting a 1M buffer on the stack just works and we
don't actually need to work around anything anymore.
However, since there's no advantage or need to put the buffer on the
stack (again), this change merely removes the XXX comment describing
that there's an explicit reason for the heap allocation. Hence, this
change is a functional no-op.

ff76fc7f16 Create a .snap directory mode 770 group operator in the root of each
filesystem that is checked in background. Create the snapshot in this
directory rather than in the root. There are two benefits:

1) For terabyte-sized filesystems, the snapshot may require many
   minutes to build. Although the filesystem will not be suspended
   during most of the snapshot build, the snapshot file itself is
   locked during the entire snapshot build period. Thus, if it is
   accessed during the period that it is being built, the process
   trying to access it will block holding its containing directory
   locked. If the snapshot is in the root, the root will lock and
   the system will come to a halt until the snapshot finishes. By
   putting the snapshot in a subdirectory, it is out of the likely
   path of any process traversing through the root and hence much
   less likely to cause a lock race to the root.

2) The dump program is usually run by a non-root user running with
   operator group privilege. Such a user is typically not permitted
   to create files in the root of a filesystem. By having a directory
   in group operator with group write access available, such a user
   will be able to create a snapshot there. Having the dump program
   create its snapshot in a subdirectory below the root will benefit
   from point (1) as well.
