Further contemplation has convinced me that this was
not going to really solve the problem of environment-poisoning
without raising serious administrative headaches. There
must be a better way...
This function removes all environment variables except
the ones listed on a "whitelist."
The function accepts two whitelist arguments.
If the first is NULL, a built-in default list will be
used. This allows callers to get a variety of behaviors:
* Default screening: provide NULL for both lists
* Custom screening: provide a custom list for the first argument
* Modified default screening: provide NULL for first arg,
list of additional variables to preserve in the second arg

symbols exported by newer versions of libc, and so we want applications
depending on the newer library code to be required to link against the
newer libc.
Discussed with: scottl, kris, imp
binaries in /bin and /sbin installed in /lib. Only the versioned files
reside in /lib, the .so symlink continues to live /usr/lib so the
toolchain doesn't need to be modified.
or the tty, just block selected signals in the parent like system(3) does.
Many thanks to bde for his assistance in finding the correct solution.

proper way to fix this. The way this works is to prepend "exec " to
the editor command to eliminate the "shell in the middle" which prevents
us from properly reawakening the editor after a SIGTSTP.

password quality, not login.conf(5).
- Move warnexpire and warnpasswd from the ``Accounting Limits''
section to ``Authentication'', and nix everything else in the
former section. The accounting knobs are not available in
the base system, and the subset of them available in ports
should be documented in the ports' manpages.

(previous variant return NULL pointer for both empty file case and error case,
so caller can't sense error properly).
It not affect existen programs because property_find() now returns NULL
for both NULL pointer and NULLified struct.
