26d0e65f67 Fix the breakage in rpc.yppasswd. Readded the svc_create() and
the registering of the "unix" transport, now it is fixed.

Everywhere, rq_cred is taken to look what authentification we have.
We can not be sure that transp>xp_verf.oa_flavor is also filled in.
This seems to be the same for all sun source. they take the flavor
of rq_cred, instead of transp.

1dde8e0111 The huge dependency lists of some of our packages has brought
attention to the sub-optimal way that we deal with package
dependencies.  Traditionally, for each package in an INDEX that the
user wants to add, we check all of the dependencies first even if the
package is already installed.  With some GNOME packages, this can
cause package_extract to be called for 50 different dependencies when
we know the top level package is already installed.

The new behavior is to not check dependencies for packages that are
already installed.  This fixes a bug where sysinstall gets itself into
a CPU intensive loop when trying to install sawfish gnome with the
most recent ports/INDEX.  There is a bug somewhere in the ports INDEX,
but with over 6,400 ports we need to be a little more forgiving here.

4b4ec9b800 Fix boundry condition in lock management:
Alfred, I took a look at retry_blockingfilelocklist() and the
 solution seemed  simple enough. Please correct me if I am wrong.
 It seems said routine doesn't  take into account boundary conditions
 when putting back file_lock entries into the blocked lock-list.
 Specifically, it fails when the file_lock being put back is the
 last element in the list, and when it is the only element in the
 list.  I've included a patch below.

 Basically, it introduces another variable: pfl, which keeps track
 of the list  item before ifl. That way if nfl is NULL, ifl gets
 inserted after pfl. If pfl  is also NULL, then it gets inserted
 at the head of the list (since it was the  only element in the
 list).

7a731ac2d2 Update length more correctly when parsing a cis info field.
Before, we were using
	while (*p++ && --len > 0);
to do this.  However, len doesn't get decremented for the NUL byte, so when
we used len later to see if we still have CIS left for some optional fields,
we'd run off the end of an array and dump core.

Instead, replace it with
	len -= strlen(p) + 1;
	p += strlen(p) + 1;
which is more correct.  It is a little bogus to assume that p points to
a valid C string, but only a little.  The PC Card SPEC mandates that it
does, and we already depend on that with the use of strdup a few lines
earlier.  Since much of the rest of the cis parsing code isn't hyper
retentive about error checking, I'll leave that level of checking for
another time and/or another committer :-).

maintain compatibility.

LEAP support is added, hints from Richard Johnson.  I've verified this
locally with PC350v42510.img firmware.  More bug fixing from Marco to
fix long passwords.

Change DELAYs in flash part of driver to FLASH_DELAY which uses tsleep
so it doesn't look like your system died during a flash update.

Install header files in /usr/include/dev/an

Cleanup some ifmedia bugs add "Home" key mode to ifmedia and ancontrol.
This way you can manage 2 keys a little easier.  Map the home mode into
key 5.  Enhance ifconfig to dump the various configured SSIDs.  I use
a bunch of different ones and roam between them.  Use the syntax similar
to the WEP keys to deal with setting difference SSIDs.

Bump up up the Card capabilities RID since they added 2 bytes to it
in the latest firmware.  Thankfully we changed it from a terminal
failure so the card still worked but the driver whined.

o Note that the kernel currently defaults the sysctl to '0', but
  sysinstall has changed it to '1' as a default as of late; however,
  rc.conf sets the value to NO as the default.  This change brings
  them relatively into sync.

86f2d72fd8 o Add a configSecurity menu to generally configure security settings,
and pull configSecurityProfile under that menu.  Add a menu option
  to determine whether LOMAC is enabled at boot.  Probably, eventually,
  many of the 'Security Profile' menu choices should be pulled out
  independently into the Security Menu, so as to make them individually
  selectable.

43323a1d21 Add another level of checking to 'chkprintcap', which is done by
"skimming thru" the printcap file looking for some common mistakes that
people make.  These are the kinds of mistakes where the printcap file
probably looks correct to human eyes, but is wrong in some subtle way
which causes a problem in some queue definitions.  The program treats
these as "warnings" not "errors".
    Note that I'm flexible on the m.f.c. schedule, if people would rather
this waited until after 4.5-release.

1a6bed6863 Long promised major enhancement set for the floppy disk driver:
. The main device node now supports automatic density selection for
  commonly used media densities.  So you can stuff your 1.44 MB and
  720 KB media into your drive and just access /dev/fd0, no questions
  asked.  It's all that easy, isn't it? :)

. Device density handling has been completely overhauled.  The old way
  of hardwired kernel density knowledge is no longer there.  Instead,
  the kernel now implements 16 subdevices per drive.  The first
  subdevice uses automatic density selection, while the remaining 15
  devices are freely programmable.  They can be assigned an arbitrary
  name of the form /dev/fd[:digit]+.[:digit:]{1,4}, where the second
  number is meant to either implement device names that are mnemonic
  for their raw capacity (as it used to be), or they can alternatively
  be created as "anonymous" devices like fd0.1 through fd0.15,
  depending on the taste of the administrator.  After creating a
  subdevice, it is initialized to the maximal native density of the
  respective drive type, so it needs to be customized for other
  densities by using fdcontrol(8).  Pseudo-partition devices (fd0a
  through fd0h) are still supported as symlinks.

. The old hack to use flags 0x1 to always assume drive 0 were there is
  no longer supported; this is now supposed to be done by wiring the
  devices down from the loader via device flags.  On IA32
  architectures, the first two drives are looked up in the CMOS
  configuration records though.  On PCMCIA (i. e., the Y-E Data
  controller of the Toshiba Libretto), a single drive is always
  assumed.

. Other specialities like disabling the FIFO and not probing the drive
  at boot-time are selected by per-controller or per-drive flags, too.

. Unit attentions (media has been changed) are supposed to be detected
  now; density autoselection only occurs after a unit attention.  (Can
  be turned off by a per-drive flag, this will cause each Fdopen() to
  perform the autoselection.)

. FM floppies can be handled now (on controllers that actually support
  it -- not all do these days).

. Fdopen() can be told to avoid density selection by setting
  O_NONBLOCK; this leaves the descriptor in a half-opened state where
  only a few ioctls are accepted.  This is necessary to run fdformat
  on a device that uses automatic density selection (since you cannot
  autoselect on an unformatted medium, obviously).

. Just differentiate between a plain old NE765 and the enhanced chips,
  but don't try more; the existing code was wrong and only misdetected
  the chips anyway.

BUGS and TODOs:

. All documentation update still needs to be done.

. Formatting not-so-standard format yields unpredictable results; i
  have yet to figure out why this happens.  "Standard" formats like
  720 and 1440 KB do work, however.

. rc scripts are needed to setup device nodes with nonstandard
  densities (like the old /dev/fdN.MMM we used to have).

. Obtaining device flags from the kernel environment doesn't work yet,
  thus currently only drives that are present in (IA32) CMOS are
  really detected.  Someone who knows the odds and ends about device
  flags is needed here, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.

. 2.88 MB still needs to be done.

69393d0646 Add prototypes for main() so that these programs compile with -Werror
(which somehow now seems to be the default for compiling -current).
This error popped up while doing a PicoBSD cross-compile on a 4.3-ish system,
it may well be that there are other apps which have similar problems,
but I did not spot them as they are not included in my picobsd config.

Whether adding prototypes for main() is the correct solution or not
I have no idea, a request to -current on the matter went basically
unanswered. Those who have better ideas are welcome to back this out
and replace it with the correct fix.

3626f83327 Update the default newfs block and fragment sizes from 8192/1024 to
16384/2048.

Following recent discussions on the -arch mailing list, involving dillon
and mckusick, this change parallels the one made over a decade ago when
the default was bumped up from 4096/512.

This should provide significant performance improvements for most
folks, less significant performance losses for a few folks and
wasted space lost to large fragments for many folks.

For discussion, please see the following thread in the -arch archive:
