The recent problems with sshd were due to sshd reassigning
`environ' when setenv() thinks it owns it. setenv() subsequently
realloc()s the new version of environ and *boom*

were not present when dev_mkdb(8) was run.
First the dev_mkdb(8) database is searched, this caters for non-DEVFS
cases where people have renamed a device.
If that fails we ask the kernel using sysctl kern.devname if the device
driver has put a name in the dev_t. This covers DEVFS cloned devices.
If that also fails we format a string which isn't entirely useless.
be used to point to a bad locale file. This is only believed to be a
minor security risk - the only risk is if some program uses the result
of a localized string as a format specifier in a vulnerable function
like sprintf(). No such code is believed to exist in the FreeBSD base
system, although it is possible that badly written third party code
would do that.

configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

the efficiency of byte-by-byte read operations on filesystems not already
supported by the block cache (especially NFS).
This should be a welcome change for users booting via PXE, as the loader
now reads its startup files almost instantly, instead of taking tens of
seconds.
It was kinda silly since the sigaction() syscall that it used to setup
the handler is more recent than __getcwd(), therefore it was useless
as the wrapper would have died before even getting as far as __getcwd(2).
