92fd901869 Clarify the explanation of the behavior for setuid programs by
noting that the restrictions do not apply if the user invoking the
program is also the owner of the program.

Also, capitalize a section header properly.

4c6616fc3e Extend the ldconfig security check so that it ignores group-writable
directories in addition to world-writable directories.  As before,
this check can be disabled with the "-i" option, which in turn can
be made the default for boot-up by setting "ldconfig_insecure=YES"
in "/etc/rc.conf".

Also fix an mdoc nit in the manual page.

643dcf40ee Add a "-i" option ("insecure") which disables the checks for
root ownership, etc.  I will soon commit a companion knob for
"/etc/rc.conf".

fa0c86aadc If a directory is world-writable or is not owned by root, skip it
and emit a warning.  This is a security measure since ldconfig
influences the shared libraries used by all programs.

I think the check should be made even more stringent by also
ignoring group-writable directories.  I will make that change soon
unless we encounter a good reason not to do it.

ef8f7ac935 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

a565ca5920 Implement ldconfig functionality for ELF. The hints are stored in
a different file than the a.out hints, namely, "/var/run/ld-elf.so.hints".
These hints consist only of the directory search path.  There is
no hash table as in the a.out hints, because ELF doesn't have to
search for the file with the highest minor version number.  (It
doesn't have minor version numbers at all.)

A single run of ldconfig updates either the a.out hints or the ELF
hints, but not both.  The set of hints to process is selected in
the usual way, via /etc/objformat, or ${OBJFORMAT}, or the "-aout"
or "-elf" command line option.  The rationale is that you probably
want to search different directories for ELF than for a.out.

"ldconfig -r" is faked up to produce output like we are used to,
except that for ELF there are no minor version numbers.  This should
enable "ldconfig -r" to be used for checking LIB_DEPENDS in ports
even for ELF.

I implemented the ELF functionality in a new source file, with an
eye toward eliminating the a.out code entirely at some point in
the future.

1295abe226 Removed /etc/ld.so.conf reference from FILES section (people get
confused when they can't find it), but leave the reference to it
as being a standard filename (which doesn't imply that it exists).

d4ba5766dd Add -R (rescan or refresh) option to rescan and rebuild the hints
file based on the previous list of directories stored there which
should overcome a weakness of the '-m' switch which can only add
libs.  This is an ideal way of updating the hints list after adding
or removing a shlib since it will remove entries that are gone and
doesn't need to have all the directories spelled out each time.
(eg: rm -f /usr/lib/libtcl75*; ldconfig -R)  This only works for
version 2 hints files (which we've been generating for a year or
so) which store the path.

566b4de9c1 Document that "ldconfig -m" rescans all directories previously
entered into the hints file, in addition to the directories named
on the command line.

edf0e5b3f8 Correct some man page xrefs, and some other minor changes to bring some
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

f606c848fa Add an "-m" flag to merge instead of replace the entries. We can
now safely add a line like

ldconfig -m ${PREFIX}/lib

in ports' Makefiles and packing lists without throwing away some
directories the user may have added.

61f9ce8d32 Updated to recent version of Paul K.'s shlib code. This code has better
warning handling and allows for link-time warnings with a modified
version of gas.

Note: Not all of the newer bits were updated such as some of the non-x86
machine-dependant code is relevant to FreeBSD right now.

699e1b82fb Changes from Paul Kranenburg which bring us into sync with his sources:
handling of errors through the standard err() and warn()
 more fixes for Geoff Rehmet's NULL pointer bug.
 fixes NULL pointer bugs when linking mono and nested X servers.
 supports a `-nostdlib' option.
 accept object files without a symbol table
 don't attempt dynamic linking when `-A' is given

a few variable names have chaged (desc -> fd), and the formatting has
changed which should make it much easier to track his sources.

I tested 'make world' for /usr/src and X twice with these changes.

09e3d49d92 This is Paul K's latest set of ld changes. A commit was necessary at this
late stage due to the fact that link.h was copyright Sun Microsystems.

This version of ld sync's us up with NetBSD's ld and supports compatablily
with NetBSD's -[zZ] flags (which we had reversed).  Compiling with this
new ld will give you RRS warnings for libraries which do not contain .type
infomation - these wsarnings are harmless and will go away as soon as you
recompile your libraries (cd /usr/src; make libraries).
