46d9306383 = Implement name service switch modules (NSS modules). NSS modules
may be built into libc (`static NSS modules') or dynamically loaded
  via dlopen (`dynamic NSS modules').  Modules are loaded/initialized
  at configuration time (i.e.  when nsdispatch is called and nsswitch.conf
  is read or re-read).

= Make the nsdispatch(3) core thread-safe.

= New status code for nsdispatch(3) `NS_RETURN', currently used to
  signal ERANGE-type issues.

= syslog(3) problems, don't warn/err/abort.

= Try harder to avoid namespace pollution.

= Implement some shims to assist in porting NSS modules written for
  the GNU C Library nsswitch interface.

2bbd7cf820 Eliminate 19 warnings in libc (at level WARNS=2) of the
`implicit declaration of function' variety.

ac8e56a7f9 Fixed namespace pollution related to `err' in libc in the same way as for
`warn'.  Now a whole 2 members of the err() family don't cause pollution.

This fixes world breakage in awk for NOSHARED worlds. contrib/awk/msg.c
has had its own version of err() for a long time, but this somehow
didn't cause problems until the update to awk-3.1.0.

70982dca88 Don't ignore unknown characters. The previous code treated a line like:
hosts:!!!!!!!!@@@@@$%^&*()()*$(files{}{}|||++!)(dns

exactly the same as:

hosts: files dns

Recover from parse errors by looking for the end of a line; this
allows entries without errors to still be parsed even if there is
an erroneous entry earlier in the file.

248aee623c Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can
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.
