variables to allow pre-configuring the distribution sets.
Still todo: add a variable to define an initial set of packages that
should be loaded.

(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.
2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.
3) Misc cleanup while I am here.
found that my syslogd is now running them for several months...
Add an option to syslogd to restrict the IP addresses that are allowed
to log to this syslogd. It's too late to develop the inter-syslogd
communications protocol mentioned in the BUGS section, some 10 years
too late. Thus, restricting the IP address range is about the most
effective change we can do if we want to allow incoming syslog
messages at all.
IMHO, we should encourage the system administrators to use this option,
and thus provide a knob in /etc/rc.* for it, defaulting to -a 127.0.0.1/32
(just as a hint about the usage).
Please state opinions about whether to merge this change into 2.2 or
not (i've got it running on RELENG_2_2 anyway).
Instead, reverse the order of the testing, so if a symbolic name starts with
a digit, we'll see if we can make a network address out of it first. If
that fails, then we'll call getnet...

Delete bogus local versions of mount*.[ch] and nfs_prot*.[ch].
Use v3 protocol by default for NFS mounts. If v3 is not supported, v2 is
used automatically. Add a new mount options for NFS, 'nfsv2' to allow the
administrator to force the use of the older protocol.
Document the new mount options and fix a couple of markup problems.
pppd now creates /var/run/ttyXn.if file containing the interface name;
check that a 'login' user is not listed in /etc/ppp/ppp.disabled;

and chap-secrets files. This allows specific users
to have pre-allocated IP numbers while others get

Document this behaviour. Document that the number of dial attempts
applies to the number of phone calls rather than the number of times
each number is dialed. Add a missing .El. Give a decent description
of how to connect to an ISP.
