- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by
many routines and programs in the suite.
- Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that
other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed
(e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server).
- Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic
two-character one.
- Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain.
- When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin())
if there is one, rather than reverse-mapping the uid.
More to come...
overflow patches that were "near" to where these operations are taking
place. The buffer overflows are from OpenBSD. The setuid/seteuid patches
are from NetBSD by way of OpenBSD (they changed them a little), at least from
my read of the tree.
This is the first of a series of OpenBSD lpr/et al merges. It (and them)
should be merged back into 2.2 and/or 2.1 (if requested) branches when they
have been shaken out in -current.
