67294f93a6 Add a dire warning about misusing the setlogin() system call. Be very
explicit that it is global to the entire "session", and that setsid() or
daemon() are need to have been called at some point.

The most notable offender of setlogin() misuse is XFree86's xdm.

7ceddc5a30 Corrected a couple of errors in the fts(3) manual page. The prototype
for "fts_open" was wrong.  Also, the "fts_info" field of the FTSENT
structure was misleadingly described as containing "flags".  Actually, it
contains a single integer value.

f153098d8f Fixed a bunch of man page cross references that were
in the main text of various man pages.

Thanks to Warner Losh for adding an option to manck to allow
it to scan the entire man page looking for bogus xrefs, instead
of just checking the SEE ALSO section.

548ad36a13 Added a little NOTES section explaining that passing in a string that
resides in read-only memory is going to cause the program to core dump,
and this is commmon with older pre-ANSI C programs.

(I've scratched my head over this one at 3 in the morning before
while trying to port some ancient program)

This shuts up a lot of the output from "manck" for section 3.

b6da577a94 Finally complete my fix for the behaviour of getpass(3) upon receipt
of signals.  Signals are now properly caught, tty state is being
restored, and the previous sigaction triggered.  Upon receipt of a
sigcont, echo is turned off again.

SIGTSTP causes a buffer flush, the man page mentions this.  (Although
i rather think of it as a feature than a bug.)

This is likely to be my last FreeBSD action for 1995, xearth shows
me that our .au guys must already write 1996. :-)
