69393d0646 Add prototypes for main() so that these programs compile with -Werror
(which somehow now seems to be the default for compiling -current).
This error popped up while doing a PicoBSD cross-compile on a 4.3-ish system,
it may well be that there are other apps which have similar problems,
but I did not spot them as they are not included in my picobsd config.

Whether adding prototypes for main() is the correct solution or not
I have no idea, a request to -current on the matter went basically
unanswered. Those who have better ideas are welcome to back this out
and replace it with the correct fix.

90e655ea4e Perform a major cleanup of the usr.sbin Makefiles.
These are not perfectly in agreement with each other style-wise, but they
are orders of orders of magnitude more consistent style-wise than before.

01b4e93eff Fixed the bug from the previous revision.
``chown -h owner symlink'' did not set the symlink's owner
if the file the symlink points to already had that owner:

# ls -l alink afile
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  ru  0 May 31 14:14 afile
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root    ru  5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile
# ./chown -h -v nobody alink
# ls -l alink afile
-rw-r--r--  1 nobody  ru  0 May 31 14:14 afile
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root    ru  5 May 31 14:14 alink -> afile

Similarly for chgrp(1) and chmod(1).

8e46d9c279 Follow symbolic links named as command line arguments if run without -R.
This is required by symlink(7), ``Commands not traversing a file tree''
subsection, third paragraph:

: It is important to realize that this rule includes commands which may
: optionally traverse file trees, e.g. the command ``chown file'' is
: included in this rule, while the command ``chown -R file'' is not.

For chown(8) and chgrp(1), this is also is compliance with the latest
POSIX 1003.1-200x draft.

414a35e60a Add $Id$, to make it simpler for members of the translation teams to
track.

The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;

     .\"    $Id$
     .\"

If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

ccee498fca Backed out previous commit. chown(8) doesn't follow symlinks by
default, at least in BSD.  This used to be automatic, because chown(2)
didn't follow symlinks.  When chown(2) was changed to follow symlinks
in BSD4.4, chown(8) was changed to not follow symlinks by default.
The previous commit broke this.  The first victim was bsd.prog.mk,
which uses a plain chown in an attempt to change the ownership of the
symlinks to `dm' in /usr/games.  This fails when it is done before
dm is installed, or messes up the ownership of dm if dm is installed.

Unfixed problems:
1. When lchown(2) was implemented, chown(8) wasn't changed to implement
   the historical behaviour of changing ownership of symlinks.  I'm not
   sure if it should have been.  The -HLP options give more complete
   control, but they unfortunately don't apply unless the -R option is
   specified (a problem shared with other commands, e.g., cp; I guess
   we're supposed to use -R even for non-recursive traversals).
2. If we implement the historical behaviour, then -h would become a no-op
   and should be left undocumented.
3. The man page suggests that without option -h, all symlinks (to files
   specified in the command line?) are followed.  It's not clear what
   "the file" is.  These bugs were introduced when -h was documented.
4. The correct interaction of -h with the other flags is not clear.

3dd0615ba4 Don't ignore symbolic links in the absence of -h, -H or -L options.
Instead change the user ID/group ID of the file that the link points to.
