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.

attribute namespace and DAC protection on file:
- Attribute names beginning with '$' are in the system namespace
- The attribute name "$" is reserved
- System namespace attributes may only be read/set by suser()
or by kernel (cred == NULL)
- Other attribute names are in the application namespace
- The attribute name "" is reserved
- Application namespace attributes are protected in the manner
of the target file permission
o Kernel changes
- Add ufs_extattr_valid_attrname() to check whether the requested
attribute "set" or "enable" is appropriate (i.e., non-reserved)
- Modify ufs_extattr_credcheck() to accept target file vnode, not
to take inode uid
- Modify ufs_extattr_credcheck() to check namespace, then enforce
either kernel/suser for system namespace, or vaccess() for
application namespace
o EA backing file format changes
- Remove permission fields from extended attribute backing file
header
- Bump extended attribute backing file header version to 3
o Update extattrctl.c and extattrctl.8
- Remove now deprecated -r and -w arguments to initattr, as
permissions are now implicit
- (unrelated) fix error reporting and unlinking during failed
initattr to remove duplicate/inaccurate error messages, and to
only unlink if the failure wasn't in the backing file open()

- The "Osd*" stuff went away from acpi driver code, use the bus_space
functions directly instead.
- Fix minor english bugs.
acpi_registers_input -> acpi_register_input
acpi_registers_output -> acpi_register_output
- Remove all magic numbers for the sleeping states. We now have
#defines for these.
- NULL is treated the same as the return from aml_get_rootname in
aml_find_from_namespace().

When we use PC-Card as install media, it is a patch
to tell with beep about whether we were able to
recognize it well.

that is not true. Instead of looping NGROUPS times, get the return value
from getgroups() and loop over the return that many times.

for crypt(3) by now. In any case:
Add crypt_set_format(3) + documentation to -lcrypt.
Add login_setcryptfmt(3) + documentation to -lutil.
Support for switching crypt formats in passwd(8).
Support for switching crypt formats in pw(8).
The simple synopsis is:
edit login.conf; add a passwd_format field set to "des" or "md5"; go nuts :)

PROTO_IP rather than PROTO_MP. This shaves some bytes off the front
of each packet 'till the second link is brought up.
