Now that the RSA algorithm is released into the public domain, build
librsaintl by default unless NO_RSAINTL is set in make.conf.
The native OpenSSL implementation of RSA is much faster, doesn't have
an artificial keysize limitation, has 30% fewer calories and tastes great!
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.

stay broken for months without anyone noticing.
The boot-conf command was changed as to reproduce the behavior of builtin
loader words precisely. As a result, it now always need an argument, possibly
0 indicating that no other arguments are being passed. This broke in a
non-deterministic way (ie, it could go on working as if everything was fine).

Don't specify the ISDN bandwidth as 65536 (ahem!)

explanations into a new file "refuse.README". Some users are simply
copying these files and expecting them to work -- without even
reading them. I don't want to spend any more time closing bogus
PRs from that.
Also correct an error or two in the patterns.
up cam_fill_ctio usage to passed atio flags. Clear periph_priv area
of new ctio so if the kernel is dumb enough to look at them (this is
a SECURITY hole) the panic will be obvious instead of subtle.
and remove sysctl oids at will during runtime - they don't rely on
linker sets. Also, the node oids can be referenced by more than
one kernel user, which means that it's possible to create partially
overlapping trees.
Add sysctl contexts to help programmers manage multiple dynamic
oids in convenient way.
Please see the manpages for detailed discussion, and example module
for typical use.
This work is based on ideas and code snippets coming from many
people, among them: Arun Sharma, Jonathan Lemon, Doug Rabson,
Brian Feldman, Kelly Yancey, Poul-Henning Kamp and others. I'd like
to specially thank Brian Feldman for detailed review and style
fixes.

from the sys Makefile's SUBDIRs. This is conditioned in make.conf by the
NO_MODULES variable and the existence of the modules directory. The
actual location of the modules is not modified. Changes in Makefiles

Reviewed by: Peter Wemm, who warned me I would get some flack, and
he had the good idea for the NO_MODULES variable.
The makefile contains a reference to /sys/dev/ppbus. What really should
be done is copy the header files to /usr/include/sys/dev/ppbus.
