Ruslan Ermilov 4b66483fd8 mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro. 2000-11-20 18:41:33 +00:00
Sheldon Hearn 3d8a8abc28 Fix bug in rev 1.7:
Use a paragraph marker (Pp) instead of a blank line.

Sheldon Hearn 7061ab237b Fix a bug that's survived since rev 1.1:
Don't mark the word "file" up as a pathname in "/etc/group file".  For
the sake of consistency with rev 1.18, use Nm instead of "Pa /etc/group"
and break "file" onto the next line.

Sheldon Hearn 82bad969b8 Fix problems introduced in rev 1.16:
* Hard sentence break.

* Using Nm for the file in the first paragraph made the use of Pa in the
  second paragraph look silly.

Ruslan Ermilov b5c508fba3 Use Fx macro wherever possible. 2000-11-14 11:20:58 +00:00
Jacques Vidrine 248aee623c Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can
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.

Sheldon Hearn 1111b49c35 Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality
of the typeset output, tend to make diffs harder to read and provide
bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

Mike Pritchard 0b65a99863 Oops. I misread some commit mail - remove the blurb about comments
in passwd/group not being enabled by default.

Mike Pritchard f57cc79d87 Improve the wording of the section on comments in the group and passwd
files.  Also mention that this feature is not enabled by default
and that they must be enabled by compile-time options.

Fixed another typo or two I noticed while I was at it.

Jordan K. Hubbard 1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.
