sysctl -w vm.defer_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to resist the use of swap space. In low memory
conditions, performance will decrease.
sysctl -w vm.disable_swap_pageouts=1
Causes the system to mostly disable the use of swap space. In
low memory conditions, the system will likely start killing
processes.

while documenting this new feature in the manpage, fix a
minor display nit.

the barrery time remaining is reported as a random number. Initialize
edx to 0xffff in this case, and to 0 in all other cases. This change
should be benign on other machines.

(I *really* meant to do this *before* committing the
deflate changes in the first place - oops).
Pppd is horribly broken in this respect - refer to the
ppp man page for details. Ppp *WON'T* negotiate deflate
with pppd by default - you must ``enable'' and ``accept''
``pppd-deflate'' in your config.
While I'm in there, update the cftypes in ccp.c so that
we recognise some more protocols (we don't actually do
anything with them - just send a REJ).
workaround. Note that this currently eats up two pages extra in the system;
this could be alleviated by aligning idt correctly, and then only dealing with
that (as opposed to the current method of allocated two pages and copying the
IDT table to that, and then setting that to be the IDT table).

apparently required for the CLPD6832, and doesn't negatively affect
any of my test machines.

This should fix the incompatibility between kernel and ncrcontrol,
which is the result of FAILSAFE being defined in the kernel config
file, invisible to the build of ncrcontrol. (See kern/5133, which
should be fixed by this change.)

- Get rid of a lot of the static variables which were shared by
many routines and programs in the suite.
- Create an abstract interface to the printcap database, so that
other retrieval and iteration mechanisms could be developed
(e.g., YP, Hesiod, or automatic retrieval from a trusted server).
- Give each capability a human-readable name in addition to the historic
two-character one.
- Otherwise generally clean up a lot of dark corners. Many still remain.
- When submitting jobs, use the official login name record (from getlogin())
if there is one, rather than reverse-mapping the uid.

to the same version numbers as 2.2.x.
The problem with the way things were was:
- if you took a 2.2.x binary, it either wouldn't run on -current or
if you had the old -current version of libtermcap.so.2.1 then it could
potentially be a security problem.
- the alternative is to start a compat22 tree dist for -current with a
uuencoded binary. This makefile hack is less cost.
libtermcap.so.3.0 is provided via /usr/lib/compat to avoid transition
problems.
