chown(). Previously, it wasn't marked for null chown()'s. We
permit null chown()s as a special case of "appropriate privilege"
- everyone has enough priviilege to not change ids (this is a better
argument than the one I gave for rev.1.13, that null changes aren't
really changes). However, POSIX.1 requires the update independently
of whether anything has changed.
Clear both the setuid and the setgid bits upon successful completion
of non-null chown()s by non-root. Previously, the setuid bit was
only changed for non-null changes of the uid, etc. POSIX.1 requires
clearing both unless the call was made by a process with "appropriate
privilege", in which case altering the bits is implementation-defined.
We define appropriate privilege as `process is root, or the change
is null', and the implementation-defined behaviour as not altering
the bits. There is no interpretation that permits clearing only
one of the bits.

instructions more (many cases were already intended to be byte-sized
but were missing prefixes so gas assembled them bogusly), and
rearranging a loop to test at the end.
better hack in ffs_vfsops.c. The hack here restricted the maximum file
size to 2^39 bytes (512GB). fs_bsize * 2^31 - 1 (16TB for the default
blocksize of 8K) would have been better. There is no good way to remove
this limit on old BSD4.4 file systems.
unreachable hosts. Note that most of this consists of telling SIGINT
and SIGALRM to interrupt the system call, instead of restarting them.
Also try to get rid of some potential races Bruce didn't like; hopefully
they aren't a problem (potential or otherwise) now.

Caveat emptor: i cannot test this right now.
This is the long-threatened ISO 9660 CD-ROM bootstrap code.
This work has been sponsored by Plutotech International, Inc (who paid
the initial work), and interface business GmbH (where i did most of
the work). A big thanks also goes to Bruce Evans, for his continuing
help and answering my stupid questions.
The code is basically functioning, with the following caveats:
. Rock Ridge attributes are not yet supported.
. Only SCSI CD-ROMs are supported, since i fail to see any possibility
to determine the drive type using BIOS functions. (Even for hard disks,
this determination is done by a big hack only.)
. El Torito specifies a lot of crap and useless misfeatures, but crucial
things like the ability to figure out the CD TOC have been ``forgotten''.
Thus, if you wanna boot a multisession CD, you need to know at which CD
block your session starts, and need to speciffy it using the @ clause.
. None of the CD-ROM controllers i've seen so far implements the full
El Torito specification at all. Adaptec is probably the closest, but
they miss on non-emulation booting (which would be the most logical
choice for us). Thus, the current code bloats the 7.5 KB boot code
up to 1.44 MB, in order to fake a `floppy' image.
If you wanna use it, specify this file as the boot image on the
command-line of the mksiosfs command (option -b).
Caveat emptor: some versions of the Adaptec BIOS might even fail to
access the CD-ROM at all, using the BIOS functions. I think i've
notice this for ver 1.26, the code has been tested with ver 1.23.
The boot string is as follows:
[@sess-start] [filename] [-flags]
sess-start Extend # where the last session starts, measured in
CD-ROM blocks.
filename As usual, but the input is case-insensitive by now
(since we don't grok RR anyway).
flags As usual, but -C (use CDROM root f/s) is default, so
specifying -C will decactivate this option (which is
probably not what you want :).
A lot of cleanup work is probably required, and some of the files
could/should be merged back to biosboot, perhaps made conditional on
some #ifdef. The malloc implementation that comes with cdboot might
also be useful for kzipboot. (I needed a malloc() since the root dir
ain't fixed in size on a CD.)
I've been testing all this with a 2.2-STABLE as the base for biosboot.
I don't expect too many surprises, although i know the biosboot stuff
has been changed a lot in -current lately. I'm sure Bruce will
comment on all this here anyway. :-)
