fcc1eaf46d - Improve line-wrapping and spacing so as to improve readability.
- Add instructions regarding replacing 'my.domain', as this has come up
  on freebsd-questions.
- Remove reference to rs.internic.net/templates, as that directory no
  longer exists.  Instead, encourage them gently to talk to their network
  provider.

8afccfa91e Backout revision 1.9 that added `myname.my.domain' as another alias for
`localhost'.  If your /etc/nsswitch.conf has ``hosts: files dns'', and
you changed `myname.my.domain' in /etc/hosts to match hostname(1), and
you run inetd(8) with the -l option, any connect to `myname' using its
real IP address through inetd(8), e.g. `ftp -a myname', will spam your
/var/log/messages with:

inetd[PID]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 23: host name/name mismatch: myname.my.domain != localhost

This is especially bad for -STABLE, where /etc/host.conf defaults to
"files first then DNS" resolution order.

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.

f5abb8467c Add IPv6 loopback entry into src/etc/hosts.
Missing IPv6 loopback name record cause name resolving lock
  on INET6 enabled systems in some cases.
  So define it.

a37834b277 Add myname.my.domain' as another alias for localhost'. We set this
as the initial generic hostname if the user didn't setup any NIC, but
failure to resolve this name results in XF86Setup not being able to
run.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

1f55ebbcd9 This is a purely cosmetic clean up. Fix many cut and paste problems that
had turned tabs into spaces.

5a3b854f62 Added reference to RFC 1597 about "private-net" IP#'s. The following numbers
will never be routed over the InterNet:
	10.0.0.0        -   10.255.255.255
        172.16.0.0      -   172.31.255.255
        192.168.0.0     -   192.168.255.255

a2afa74527 Added RCS Id. Also changed comment to indicate that /etc/host.conf
determines when and how this file will be consulted.  Added comment to
the effect that (1) zero is not a vaild network number and (2) please
get a valid network number assigned by your provider or by the Internet
Registry.
