Add an option to the way UFS works dependent on the SUID bit of directories
This changes makes things a whole lot simpler on systems running as
fileservers for PCs and MACS. to enable the new code you must
1/ enable option SUIDDIR on the kernel.
2/ mount the filesystem with option suiddir.
hopefully this makes it difficult enough for people to
do this accidentally.
see the new chmod(2) man page for detailed info.
o start function names in column 1
o sort order of flags in getopt and switch
o don't try to reference progname
o unspam some changes introduced by a 2.2.1-R build box instead of a
-current build box
doc changes:
o document when these commands first appeared
o put email address in angle brakets
o minor mdoc clean up
permissions centrally and a setuid root mount utility just breaks
its security. There was no new breakage in practice because
mfdosfs_mount() still checks the ruid.
fix a few problems with missing headers, warn called with an exit
value, and undeclared getopt vars
these programs now compile -Wall clean (and yes, I know I should use
more than just -Wall) :)
like PAP and CHAP secrets with sppp(4). This is the first utility
using the new SIOC[SG]IFGENERIC ioctls (and the reason for inventing
them in the first place).
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

higher up in memory (0x0800000 upwards) rather than near zero (0x1000
for our qmagic a.out format). The method that mount_mfs uses to allocate
the memory within data size rlimits for the ram disk is entirely too much
of a kludge for my liking. I mean, if it's run as root, surely it makes
sense to just raise the resource limits to infinity or something, and if
it's a non-root user mount (do these work? with mfs?) it could just fail
if it's outside limits.
an export line) is unresolvable, make a note of it via syslog and skip
that individual host instead of skipping the entire line.
