The last big commit: let usr.sbin/ use WARNS=6 by default.

style.Makefile(5)

WARNS=4 cleanup, de-__P()

Perform a major cleanup of the usr.sbin Makefiles.
These are not perfectly in agreement with each other style-wise, but they
are orders of orders of magnitude more consistent style-wise than before.

- Backout botched attempt to introduce MANSECT feature.
- MAN[1-9] -> MAN.

Set the default manual section for usr.sbin/ to 8.

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.

Unifdef -DPASSWD_IGNORE_COMMENTS. This wasn't really optional and
we have enough pseudo-options already.

Allow comments in password database. The comments are copied from
the password file into /etc/master.passwd and optional (-p) into
/etc/passwd. Enable this feature with the compile
option -DPASSWD_IGNORE_COMMENTS.

The character `#' introduces a comment. Leading spaces and tabs are
ignored: '^[ \t]*#.*\n$'

Count an empty line - only spaces, tabs or newline - also as a comment.
An empty line at the bottom of /etc/master.passwd is a common
novice error and increased my mail load: '^[ \t]*\n$'

Get rid of update. Make man page installation work with our scheme
(and rename a few in the process).
