Jean-Baptiste Boric 72e11e2789 Import NetBSD's passwd.conf
Without this file, the NetBSD userland will fall back by default to the
old, insecure classic UNIX password hashing algorithm.

This is a big security issue. Please check docs/UPDATING for details.

MINIX 3 did not import NetBSD's passwd.conf file, which makes the
userland fall back by default to the old, broken UNIX password hashing
algorithm. Among other problems, it truncates passwords to the first
eight characters.
Please install /etc/passwd.conf and reset your passwords with passwd.

Some tools are required to generate the locale resources which are
embedded into libintl, which is why you need to run the following:
for t in gencat locale mkcsmapper mkesdb mklocale
do
make -C /usr/src/usr.bin/${t} all install
done
Then the usual "make build".

In order to use the new Unix98 PTYs, and to ensure that the test set
continues to pass, please add the following line to your /etc/fstab:
"none /dev/pts ptyfs rw,rslabel=ptyfs 0 0"

As the ABI went under heavy changes it is not possible to do a source
upgrade (make build) between:
