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.

sanity check, but it is too easy to run into, eg: making an ACL syscall
when no filesystems have the ACL implementation enabled.
The original reason for the panic was that the VOP_ vector had not been
assigned and therefor could not be passed down the stack.. and there
was no point passing it down since nothing implemented it anyway.
vop_defaultop entries could not pass it on because it had a zero (unknown)
vector that was indistinguishable from another unknown VOP vector.
Anyway, we can do something reasonable in this case, we shouldn't need
to panic here as there is a reasonable recovery option (return EOPNOTSUPP
and dont pass it down the stack).

to recycle inodes after a destroy_dev() but not until all mounts
have picked up the change.
Add support for an overflow table for DEVFS inodes. The static
table defaults to 1024 inodes, if that fills, an overflow table
of 32k inodes is allocated. Both numbers can be changed at
compile time, the size of the overflow table also with the
sysctl vfs.devfs.noverflow.
Use atomic instructions to barrier between make_dev()/destroy_dev()
and the mounts.
Add lockmgr() locking of directories for operations accessing or
modifying the directory TAILQs.
Various nitpicking here and there.
for them does not belong in the IP_FW_F_COMMAND switch, that mask doesn't even
apply to them(!).
2. You cannot add a uid/gid rule to something that isn't TCP, UDP, or IP.
XXX - this should be handled in ipfw(8) as well (for more diagnostic output),
but this at least protects bogus rules from being added.

to allow commonality between varying platforms. This is a step
towards parsing the diskless configuration information with MI code
inside the kernel.
Export the interface hardware address to the kernel, so that it is possible
to determine the boot interface with certainty.
Export the NFS filehandle for the root mount to the kernel, so that the
kernel does not need to perform a mount RPC call.
chgsbsize(), which are called rather frequently and may be called from an
interrupt context in the case of chgsbsize(). Instead, do the hash table
lookup and maintenance when credentials are changed, which is a lot less
frequent. Add pointers to the uidinfo structures to the ucred and pcred
structures for fast access. Pass a pointer to the credential to chgproccnt()
and chgsbsize() instead of passing the uid. Add a reference count to the
uidinfo structure and use it to decide when to free the structure rather
than freeing the structure when the resource consumption drops to zero.
Move the resource tracking code from kern_proc.c to kern_resource.c. Move
some duplicate code sequences in kern_prot.c to separate helper functions.
Change KASSERTs in this code to unconditional tests and calls to panic().

Add support for the SOHOware PCMCIA Ethernet card, model ND5100-E.
This seems to be a re-badged NDC (National Datacomms. Corp) card.
It needs a quirk entry due to lack of manufacturer tuple in the CIS.
For some reason, the 'Tx/Rx' LED on the connector module is inverted
such that it is off during network activity...
stay broken for months without anyone noticing.
The boot-conf command was changed as to reproduce the behavior of builtin
loader words precisely. As a result, it now always need an argument, possibly
0 indicating that no other arguments are being passed. This broke in a
non-deterministic way (ie, it could go on working as if everything was fine).
