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.

afc3b53891 Introduce a new option, daily_status_disks_df_flags, which specifies 
the command-line arguments to be used for the call to df(1) when
daily_status_disks_enable is set to YES.

The name of the new variable was chosen by the maintainer of our
periodic hierarchy, Brian Somers.

ee4619f2a7 Back out the hook to execute the file ${firewall_type}. The intended 
purpose of the hook was to provide the ability for a shell program to
instantiate the firewall rules instead of forcing them to be
statically coded.  This functionality was already present through the
use of ${firewall_script}, and I see no need to keep the
${firewall_type} hook around.

8d1b3828fa Add a sysctl to specify the amount of UDP receive space NFS should 
reserve, in maximal NFS packets.  Originally only 2 packets worth of
    space was reserved.  The default is now 4, which appears to greatly
    improve performance for slow to mid-speed machines on gigabit networks.

    Add documentation and correct some prior documentation.
