makewhatis.local - start makewhatis(1) only for file systems
physically mounted on the system
Running makewhatis from /etc/weekly for rw nfs-mounted /usr may kill
your NFS server -- all clients start makewhatis at the same time!
So use this wrapper instead calling makewhatis directly.

is available before trying to go hunting for a domain name. This fixes
the following problem: you have +::::::::: in /etc/master.passwd but
NIS isn't running (no ypbind, no domain name set) -- passwd and chpass
will still try to change an NIS password instead of the local one.
shell to one of the following:
- a non-existent file
- a non-regular file
- a file without any execute bits set
The shell is still set to whatever they entered even if the above
conditions exist (hey, it is the super user doing this after all :-),
but this might give the admin. some warning that they are about to screw
themselves and give them a chance to fix it before it is too late.
Inspired by: some new FreeBSD user on USENET who set his root shell
to a shell that doesn't exist and now can't gain access to root (don't
worry, I sent him some mail on how to recover from this).
"make world" to fail if you use the msun math library and
blow away /usr/include and then do "make world". This is because
the msun math.h isn't installed with the other include files before
xlint is built. It finally gets installed when the msun library
is built.
Perhaps "make world" should install the msun math.h file if
it doesn't install the CSRG math.h, to prevent problems
like this in the future.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
allow the user to install using a Numeric GID or UID.
this brings it in to line with chgrp and chown, ans is required
by some people using FreeBSD in a product.
E.g. for Easter, and entries like "04/SunFirst" calendar will
now report:
04/05* Good Friday (2 days before easter)
04/07* First Sunday...
instead of:
Easter-2 Good Friday...
04/SunFirst First Sunday...
I also modified the calendar files to use the variable day format
for a lot of events so that they will be reported correctly.
E.g. U.S. daylight savings time is now listed as:
04/SunFirst Daylight savings time...
There are still a lot of wrong dates in there for some events
that move from year to year, but I don't have a good calendar handy
right now that I can use for reference.
