091e83ecee Standardise chmod, chflags, chown and chgrp recursive symlink processing
chmod, chflags, chgrp, chmod and chown now affect symlinks in -R mode as
defined in symlink(7); previously symlinks were silently ignored.

641f074c69 From the PR:
Three minor changes to the manpage of chmod(1).

  1. At the description of -H option, I added that symlinks are
  not followed _by default_ to show that links can be followed,
  but the default chmod behavior is not to do so.

  2. Moved a misplaced .Va file command up to the place it belongs.

  3. Simplified the grammar that describes symbolic modes.

Add an option to the way UFS works dependent on the SUID bit of directories
This changes makes things a whole lot simpler on systems running as
fileservers for PCs and MACS. to enable the new code you must
1/ enable option SUIDDIR on the kernel.
2/ mount the filesystem with option suiddir.
hopefully this makes it difficult enough for people to
do this accidentally.
see the new chmod(2) man page for detailed info.
