Removed whitespace at end-of-line; no content changes. I simply did
cd src/share; find man[1-9] -type f|xargs perl -pi -e 's/[ \t]+$//'

BTW, what editors are the culprits? I'm using vim and it shows
me whitespace at EOL in troff files with a thick blue block...

mdoc(7) police: use the new features of the Nm macro.

Fix bug in rev 1.7:

Use a paragraph marker (Pp) instead of a blank line.

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.

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.

Use Fx macro wherever possible.

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.

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.

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$

misc. spelling and grammar gnits.

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

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.

Document comments.

Revert $FreeBSD$ back to $Id$

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.
