b667dc9a51 Disable setuid permission for mount_union(1).
This covers the security problem descibed in SA-96:10 and Jeff says that
when we upgrade to Lite2 (which fixes this problem), mount no longer needs
to be setuid, so we'll never be going back.

6335830372 Fix for vfsload(3):
- Don't allow non-root users to specify LKMDIR.
- Don't allow any users to specify TMPDIR.
- Call /sbin/modload using execl() rather than execlp().

bf8788a4bd Large security hole in mount_union, the underlying filesystem for which doesn't
even work.  Until pst wakes up, best action deemed to be the simple disabling
of this command.

I was in the middle of one of these "projects" when I started
on the next, so they wound up all intermixed)

Move the mailing list entities from authors.sgml to the new file
lists.sgml.  Add an entity for majordomo at the same time.

Avoid the use of contractions.  This revealed some grammer problems,
and also has the benefit of helping make things clearer for those people
who do make speak English as a their first language.

2694f9b9a8 - Patch around amd core dump problem: don't allow yp_unbind() or _yp_unbind()
to call clnt_destroy() on a potentially NULL RPC handle. Somebody should
  bang on this a bit to make sure the problem is really gone; I seem to
  have difficulty reproducing it. Patch provided by Peter Wemm and
  slightly tweaked by me.

- Don't call _yp_unbind() in individual ypclnt functions unless we encounter
  an RPC error while making a clnt_call().

16185b823a Fix some long-standing malloc bugs in the package handling code (freeing garbage
in one place, leaking memory in another).

Add a facility to invoke subsystems directly by naming them on
sysinstall's command-line when running post-install.  A replacement
for pkg_manage might, for example, be `/stand/sysinstall configPackages'

Fix bogon where upgrade shell was entered with tty modes spammed.

Fix bug with release name checking in ftp_strat.  Turned a bunch of
bogus exit()s into proper calls to systemShutdown().

60fa1b8390 Makewhatis appended the filename to list of keywords if no keyword
matched the filename. Now put the list after the filename. E.g.

filename: vt220keys.1
Keyword: vt220

was: vt220(1), vt220keys(1)   - define SHIFTED [...]
now: vt220keys(1), vt220(1)   - define SHIFTED [...]

Garrett Wollman
5e074e31a2 Get rid of the last vestiges of the old MOUNT_* constants in the
mount_* programs.  While we're at it, collapse the four now-identical
mount programs for devfs, fdesc, kernfs, and procfs into links to
a new mount_std(8) which can mount any really generic filesystem
such as these when called with the appropriate argv[0].

Also, convert the mount programs to use sysexits.h.

0d88ef072c Leave 16 lines in front of each component partition. It's now safe to
use sd87a or sd237e even if they start at the beginning of the slice.

You can also use sd85c if you prefer, although you need to change the
type field in the disklabel to "4.2BSD".

7d732d1e4f Bugfix: nested *?+ in regexp at /usr/bin/makewhatis line 286
Submitted by: invalid opcode <coredump@nervosa.com>

makewhatis.local - start makewhatis(1) only for file systems
                   physically mounted on the system
Running makewhatis from /etc/weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all clients start makewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper instead calling makewhatis directly.

d7b71c676e Small touchups:
- Fix typos in comments in hash.c.
- Remove unneeded and unused member from grouplist struct in hash.h.
  (Curiously, the compiler never complained about this even though the
   member was of type 'struct grps' which is not defined anywhere in
   this program.)
- char ch -> int ch in revnetgroup.c.
- char *argv[0]; -> char *argv[]; also in revnetgroup.c.
- Force the user to specify at least one of the -u or -h flags
  and complain if they specify both.
