be used to point to a bad locale file. This is only believed to be a
minor security risk - the only risk is if some program uses the result
of a localized string as a format specifier in a vulnerable function
like sprintf(). No such code is believed to exist in the FreeBSD base
system, although it is possible that badly written third party code
would do that.

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.

the efficiency of byte-by-byte read operations on filesystems not already
supported by the block cache (especially NFS).
This should be a welcome change for users booting via PXE, as the loader
now reads its startup files almost instantly, instead of taking tens of
seconds.
It was kinda silly since the sigaction() syscall that it used to setup
the handler is more recent than __getcwd(), therefore it was useless
as the wrapper would have died before even getting as far as __getcwd(2).

* rewrite catopen() to remove duplicate code chunks and optimize
* if empty string is passed to catopen() as name argument then
catopen() will set errno to ENOENT (File not found), not EINVAL
* move search code to LOOKUP() macro to shrink amount of duplicated code
* move common resource freeing actions to __nls_free_resources() function
* exclude from build code related to MCLoadAll defintion since it is not
using at all
* style(9) related whitespace changes

in my tree for a long time. bde reviewed this once upon a time and
said it was OK, iirc. This also obviates the need to put ? in the
optstring argument to preclude the extra warning message which some
people think confuses users. When I made my getopt cleanups of a long
time ago, this was the compromise reached. I just neglected to commit
it until now.
and bump __FreeBSD_version to 500012 to mark the occasion.

and most of the man page update has been obtined from OpenBSD. This

I've lost their mail.
