been intention, it allowed for weird section names like "3xyzzy". We
don't have them, either.)

link stage fell over for any program that attempted to use rexec().
Ruserpass() remains undocumented; i could not find any documentation
for it on other systems.
Also added a BUGS section to the man page, stating that this function
constitutes a potential security hole (as well as the underlying
"exec" service).

Fix PR 303: msdosfs: moving a file into another directory causes panic.
" ... the code that does the rename already has the denode
locked when msdosfs_hashins() gets called, resulting in the panic
when the routine attempts to lock the denode again.
...
The attached patch changes the msdosfs_hashins() routine to not lock the
denode. The caller is now resposible for obtaining the lock instead
of having msdosfs_hashins() do it for them."
don't lock the vnode - it doesn't appear to ever be necessary for VCHR
vnode/inodes. This fixes a bug introduced in the previous commit that
caused tty timestamps to act strange (causing 'w' and 'finger' to show
the tty wasn't idle when it may have been for hours).
Have netstart directly source sysconfig so that it stands on its own.
Do not source netstart in rc, run it with sh.
Rework the dangerous /etc/hostname.* so that it uses a variable with
a list of interfaces and a variable for each interface in that list.
The files /etc/hostname.* become obsolete with this change, the
information is now stored in /etc/sysconfig.
Source any /etc/start_if.${ifn} files so they can export things to
netstart (plans for future enhancements in this area.)
Obsolete /etc/defaultrouter, this is now down with $defaultrouter from
sysconfig.
o add missing man pages
o make all man pages clearly refer to the libcompat thingie
o add the information to the vtimes(3) and vlimit(3) man pages
that nobody has reimplemented the functions by now
o add the missing getpw.c
o add code and man pages for cftime(3) and
ascftime(3) -- i found them somewhere in old
unfinished work
in the mrouted. inet_parse returns network byte ordered address, but there
are a couple comaprisons that need to be done on the addresses and the
comparisons are done in host order. I left the comparisions for 0xffffffff
alone, because this value is the same in network and host orders.

how embarassing ! This turns out to be a bug in infptrace.c. Below
is a patch. Could some kind soul apply it ?

where one or more of the non-default domains are not yet bound.
If we make a YP request for a domain other than the default domain,
and there is no binding for the new domain yet, _yp_dobind() sees
that the /var/yp/binding/DOMAIN.VERS file for the unbound domain is
not locked (by ypbind) and from this it concludes that the NIS system
is dead, so it gives up.
This behavior has been changed: before giving up in this case, we now
make a second check to see if the binding file for the *default* domain
is also not locked. Only if the default domain binding file is also
unlocked to we now assume that ypbind has bought the farm and bail out.
(Note: this assumes that the user hasn't changed the default domain
while ypbind is running.)
With this change, _do_ypbind() is allowed to proceed into the next
section of code wherein it prods ypbind into establishing a binding
for the new domain. This first call times out after ten seconds,
after which it should retry and succeed. From then on, the binding
for the second domain should be handled normally.
