information (no one else can vipw(8), chpass(1), or even passwd(1)),
either on purpose or by accident, until an administrator manually
intervened. Instead, do not lock the master.passwd file while a user
is editing his information. But once we go to write the new
information, check that the modified user's information has not
changed in the password database since we started. Abort the changes
if it has.

# sysctl net.link.ether.bdg_ipf=1
To enable. Just like ipfw(8) bridging, only input packets are filtered
in the bridge. Filtering works just like in the IP layer, ipf(8)
first, then ipfw(8). And just like in the IP layer, both are
independent, one need not be run to use the other. (Note: This will
not work in, but doesn't break, the bridge.ko module. The ipl.ko
module would need to be fixed before that is worth worrying about.)

- Bootstrap pvo entries are now allocated by stealing pages.
- Just return if we're pmap_enter'ing a mapping that's already there. Don't
remove it and re-enter it.
This is a set of userland shims in which GEOM can be run through simple
tests.
The simulation of kernel synchronization primitives is very primitive
and consequently some times tests will fail because of races.
Data/ contains a number of files in XML format which describe the
key sectors for a number of disk images
This is a very handy tool for people developing GEOM methods. The
"simdisk" method can be told to read from a "real disk" and afterwards
dump the accessed sectors in XML format for further use.
I hope future method writes will see the benefit of this test
collection and add to it when they write methods for GEOM.
You will need ports/textproc/expat for the XML parser.

modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:
The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.
foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"
For each file segment, the process is:
- try to open the file
- prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
- try to open the file
- return error if file could not be located
RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.

the release notes compare 5.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE, but in at least
one place it is beneficial to mention the last stable release of
FreeBSD (4.5-RELEASE).

the motivation for saving and restoring the map->hint in useracc() is gone.
(The same tests that motivated this change in revision 1.57 now show that
there is no performance loss from removing it.) This was really a hack and
some day we would have had to add new synchronization here on map->hint
to maintain it.
