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.

build process in too many cases. Adding mtree to bootstrap-tools
to solve this breaks the upgrade path because mtree needs a
libc that has strtofflags and fflagstostr.
wheel to trash logfiles is not exactly good security policy. There have
been several gid wheel holes in ports. Various other files were changed
as well (eg: the locate database were set to more restrictive modes (444)
by their generation scripts) so this should be safe for them. utmp and
wtmp are mode 644 already on all the systems we checked.

Please install /etc/defaults/pccard.conf and update /etc/defaults/rc.conf
as well.
Note that old pccard.conf.sample still remains for while but
no longer to be maintained.

Included are updates for all relevant manpages and also to /etc files,
creating a new /var/log/security. Nothing in the system logs to

Allow a ppp startup option in rc.conf.
Adjust sysinstall so that it appends to the end of ppp.conf
and uses the generated profile to start ppp in auto mode on
boot.

he moved rc.conf. Then he deleted rc.diskless when it ( of course ) didn't
work. Now I'm putting the originally accidently removed rc.diskless{1,2}
back in.
