* Clarify the wording regarding :*: as proposed by ajacoutot@.schwarze2012-03-061-30/+20
| | | | | | | | Spring cleanup while here: - Refrain from explaining what a colon (`:') and a comma (`,') is. - Remove speculations about future directions to be taken after 4.0BSD (sic). - And some minor wording changes. ok jmc@ millert@ ajacoutot@

* getgrouplist: If YP is #defined and enabled in /etc/group(5) and /etc/netid(5)schwarze2009-03-271-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | contains a matching entry, use that and refrain from accessing YP. getpwnam/getpwuid: If YP is #defined and /etc/master.passwd(5) contains a matching entry before the first YP entry, use that and stay away from YP. Taken together, this allows a solution to the following problem pointed out by deraadt@: When YP was configured but temporarily unavailable, even root login would block, hindering you when trying to do repairs. To avoid this, you can now provide a static entry for root in /etc/netid. Using suggestions from miod@ otto@ blambert@ jmc@. "commit" deraadt@, "cool" ajacoutot@, "looks fine" jmc@.
