8e37fd0b5d "in in" is not always wrong (backout 1.18).
Keep the onion metaphor consistent.

569bfe2ef0 Effect the correct use of "affect".
Use em dashes instead of " - ".

Use .Em instead of *emphasis*.

Note that securing root indirectly (by securing staff accounts) works
only if direct root access has been limited. [1]

s/hacker/attacker, as done in the handbook. (inspired by [1])

8c50fd4dbe Sorry for doing this backwards, but as with most release related stuff
we only pay attention to it during release time and at the moment it's
a -stable release in progress.

This is a MFS I guess, moving rev 1.536.2.113 to HEAD.  I ran out of
time to follow through with doing this last night.  Sorry for the delay.

Adding a couple of variables to make tweaking the CD-ROM label and .iso
filenames easier.

7d1905e15b Move the SNMP MIBs and tree definitions from /usr/share/bsnmp to
/usr/share/snmp. This mirrors the use of /usr/local/share/snmp and
makes also more sense when non-bsnmp-specific MIBs go in.

b93079f17c Moved the boot floppy generation code out from release.9 to release.10.
The release.9 target is now responsible only for generation of MFS root
file systems, that are built for all architectures, even those that do
not provide a floppy installation option.  The release.10 target is now
responsible for creation of a set of boot, MFS root, and fixit floppies,
and the NO_FLOPPIES variable now affects only this target.

Also, replaced the FIXIT_TARGET variable with a check of whether the
*FIXITSIZE variables are present for a given architecture, similar to
how this is done when generating boot floppies.

1597fa8dfe Remove, with extreme prejudice, the notion that /tmp best needs to be a
softlink to /var/tmp.

This is horribly wrong since /tmp and /var/tmp serve different goals.
Even given the text that in the old days things were different doesn't help,
since our scripts clean /tmp, and we depend on /var/tmp to persist for
vi editing sessions recovery and other likewise applications.

29d0d30996 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:

4345758876 mdoc(7) police:
Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

511e378b14 Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...
