Use these new functions instead of printf(1), which is scheduled for
removal as a shell builtin command, and which will not be available as a
standalone utility if MAKEDEV is run prior to mounting /usr.

smmsp - sendmail 8.12 operates as a set-group-ID binary (instead of
set-user-ID). This new user/group will be used for command line
submissions. UID/GID 25 is suggested in the sendmail documentation and has
been adopted by other operating systems such as OpenBSD and Solaris 9.
mailnull - The default value for DefaultUser is now set to the uid and gid
of the first existing user mailnull, sendmail, or daemon that has a
non-zero uid. If none of these exist, sendmail reverts back to the old
behavior of using uid 1 and gid 1. Currently FreeBSD uses daemon for
DefaultUser but I would prefer not to use an account used by other
programs, hence the addition of mailnull. UID/GID 26 has been chosen for
this user.
This was discussed on -arch on October 18-19, 2001.

line in the file. This syncs the host.conf generation with how
the nsswitch.conf is parsed.
Only print " host.conf" instead of a multi-line message, since this
happens on every boot.
