configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= 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.

time, I have no idea if there is equivalence of printf. So, stf
setup still depends on /usr. In addition, prefix(8) and gifconfig(8)
are in /usr/sbin. Should we move these into /sbin?

scripts may use to source safely overrides in ${rc_conf_files}
files.
This protects users who insist on the bad practice of copying
/etc/defaults/rc.conf to /etc/rc.conf from a recursive loop
that exhausts available file descriptors.
Several people have expressed interest in breaking this function
out into its own shell script. Anyone who wants to embark on
such an undertaking would do well to study the attributed PR.

reserve, in maximal NFS packets. Originally only 2 packets worth of
space was reserved. The default is now 4, which appears to greatly
improve performance for slow to mid-speed machines on gigabit networks.
Add documentation and correct some prior documentation.

- 6to4(stf) interface configuration.
- Static route configuration.
- Comment additions.
- Replaced a still existed '@' to '%' in IPv6 scoped addr format.
(This became necessary as previous IPv6 scoped addr format change.)

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.

-Comment out example sentences more completely
-Redirect error message of ifconfig output into /dev/null, to correctly

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.
Changes are:
- rpc.umntall is called at the right places now in /etc/rc*
- rpc.umntall timeout has been lowered from two days (too high) to one
- verbose messages in rpc.umntall have been clarified
- kill double entries in /var/db/mounttab when rpc.umntall is invoked
- ${early_nfs_mounts} has been removed from /etc/rc
- patched mount(8) -p to print different pass/dump values for ufs filesystems.
