later be applied to a number of programs (inetd for instance) to clean
out the bogus code doing the same thing, modulus all the bugs.
If you need to read a '#'-is-a-comment-file, please use these routines.
I realize that the shlib# should be bumped (for the non-US world:
increased by something), but will defer this until something significant
happens.

Here is a semi-official patch (apply to /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/fseek.c,
rebuild libc, install). The current code fails when the seek:
- is optimized, and
- is to just past the end of the block currently in the buffer, and
- is followed by another seek with no intervening read operation, and
- the destination of subsequent seek is within the block left in the
buffer (seeking to the beginning of a block does not force a read,
so the buffer still contains the previous block)
so it is indeed rather obscure.
I may have a different `final' fix, as this one `loses' the buffer
contents on a seek that goes just past the end of the current block.
[Footnote: seeks are optimized only on read-only opens of regular
files that are buffered by the file's optimal I/O size. This is
what you get with fopen(path, "r") and no call to setvbuf().]

While trying to figure out why rlogind wasn't working right for root,
I noticed that man wouldn't come back with a man page for iruserok, but
it would for ruserok. Checking the lib/net directory's Makefile.inc
file shows that the link to the rcmd man page just isn't getting
created.
>How-To-Repeat:
Do a 'man iruserok' and notihing will come back, where a 'man ruserok'
will.

getnet* configuration. (It's highly unlikely that you'd want to do
something different, and network lookups aren't common enough to justify
their own configuration file.)

You MUST pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before attempting to use the new
libc, or things may go wrong. (I doubt anything actually /will/ go
wrong, but the actual behavior is undefined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)
The database format is, however, backwards-compatible, so old executables
will still work.

in rcmd:
It calls select() with a hardcoded "number of file descriptors" argument
of 32, rather than computing it based on the sockets about which it
cares.
- Now we work out the nfds arg, and do some error checking
