f0fbc30e0d Introduce the PRECIOUSPROG knob in bsd.prog.mk, similar
to PRECIOUSLIB from bsd.lib.mk.  The side effect of this
is making installing the world under jail(8) possible by
using another knob, NOFSCHG.

0caca34c52 Fix for the following behavior:
$ crontab -e
[Add an entry with an error in the crontab file.]
crontab: errors in crontab file, can't install
Do you want to retry the same edit? yes
[Exit the editor without any changes.]
crontab: no changes made to crontab
[Entry is lost.]

Now crontab will loop until the error is fixed, or the
user answers no.

d74956ff51 Remove the 'DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE' crud that we spit out with 'crontab -l'.
Otherwise, "crontab -l > file; vi file; crontab file" adds an extra set
of "DO NOT EDIT" markers each and every time which is a bit silly.

10728d93bc Attempt to fix problem with users being able to convince the crontab
program to read any file which is a valid crontab file.

The fix is based on that used in NetBSD and OpenBSD - we keep the
file open while the user is editing it. This means that files must
be edited in place. Cron attempts to warn you if your editor does
not do this. The fact that the file must be edited in place is also
noted in the man page.

This patch has been confirmed to work by atleast one person on
-security and has been tested locally.

the section should be renamed to IMPLEMENTATION NOTES.

Use getpwnam before getpwuid since two users with same uids can exists
(affects new login classes code only)

The same fixes as in inetd: by default run `system crontab things' with
daemon login class now, not restrict them to user class breaking
compatibility with old way (so-called nobody limits problem)

Implement user[:group][/login-class] syntax in system crontab
for more flexible control (the same as in inetd)
