This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag

'RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 5.3-RELEASE image.

Fix the style of the SCM ID's.

2002-03-22T21:53:29+00:00

I believe have made all of libc .c's as consistent as possible.

Remove 'register' keyword.

2002-03-21T18:49:23+00:00

Removed duplicate VCS ID tags, as per style(9).

Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can

2000-09-06T18:16:48+00:00

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.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

1997-01-14T07:20:47+00:00

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.

Small yet significant tweaks/cleanups:

1996-12-27T18:21:07+00:00

- getservent:
  o put _yp_check() proto under #ifdef YP where it belongs
  o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
    be NUL terminated after copying

- gethostbynis:
  o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long

- getnetbynis:
  o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
    be NUL terminated after copying

- ether_addr:
  o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
    be NUL terminated after copying (in this case it's BUFSIZ + 2 bytes,
    but it happens that BUFSIZ == YPMAXRECORD.

- gethostbydns:
  o nuke stray 'return(NULL)' in __dns_getanswer() (harmless but looks silly)

These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.

I asked Bill Paul why _getnetbynis() was only being called with 2 parameters,

1996-12-06T00:12:31+00:00

and he said:

	The 3rd agrument is new; looks like it was part of the upgrade to
	a new BIND with some IPv6 support. The third argument here should be
	AF_INET. In order for it to be anything else, I'd have to add new
	NIS functions to support IPv6 lookups. I don't even know what those
	look like yet.

So there ya go, add AF_INET as the 3rd argument to the call.
