50c317ac7c Docuemnt exactly which functions access which NSS databases.
Point out that FreeBSD libc has compat stubs for GNU glibc NSS
modules which access NSDB_PASSWD/NSDB_GROUP, but not NSDB_HOSTS;
based on painful experience porting nss_mdns.

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.

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.
