= 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.

to avoid error messages printed on /var/log/messages.
Recently added "stf" interface has IFF_MULTICAST bit set,
because IPv6 don't work on non IFF_MULTICAST set interfaces
in current implementation.
But "stf" interface is multi-dest IPv6 over IPv4 tunnel, so
can't treat multicast packet with no special configuration.
On the other hand, tools like "rtadvd", "pim6dd", "pim6sd"
send messages on IFF_MULTICAST set interfaces by default.
So there will be many bogus error message on /var/log/messages,
that multicast packets sent to "stf0" failed.
So,
-strip "stf0" from rtadvd sending interfaces in rc.network6
("rtadvd" is a daemon used only for local subnet, so it
will never need to send its packets over "stf0" interfaces.)
-Add default configuration files for "pim6dd" and "pim6sd",
and disable "stf0" in those files.

The isdnd is able to listen on a socket for isdnmonitor to connect to
it to remotely control it (similar to ppp and pppctl). When this is
enabled in the isdnd config file, it will fail currently because isdnd
is started before the network interfaces are configured.
It is necessary to move the isdnd start after the ifconfig of the network
interfaces, then this problem will not occur.

Do discard standard output from the sysctl for approxy_all, and echo

When I tried to do this with the existing /etc/rc* scripts, I found that
I couldn't do this by modifying only /etc/rc.conf: that file gets
sourced very early by /etc/rc, well before any networking functionality
is present, let alone NIS. Further, I wasn't able to figure out a way
to use various levels & types of quoting to defer evaluation of the
string to a point subsequent to NIS initialization.
As a result, I resorted to hacking /etc/rc.network -- but I did it in a
way that ought to be reasonably general, and avoid breakage for anyone
else.
