libutil: defer setting the MAC label until after the login class

2026-01-20T04:05:44Z

MAC policies, like mac_biba(4), may forbid changing the login class once a label has been applied. For setting up the initial login context, this isn't really expected and in-fact may break some class-based configuration. Defer setting the MAC label until after the login class is set, and remove the requirement that we have a pwd entry since the label is pulled from the login class -- we only use pwd for syslog in this path. Patch is largely by Kevin Barry, with some modifications and this commit message by kevans@.

hexdump.3: Add missing LIBRARY section

2025-12-15T16:58:44Z

All the other libutil section 3 manpages document this, and although it's heavily implied by the libutil.h header in the synopsis, we should still be explicit and consistent. PR: 280078 Reviewed by: jrtc27 MFC after: 1 week (cherry picked from commit 169e23d41f8ff16244f4fb04924fdc9828325dce)

libutil: move ftime to libutil

2024-06-28T10:17:52Z

It seems that there are still some applications that use ftime(3) (for example, science/siconos and sysutils/lcdproc). The issue is that we don't build libcompat as a shared library anymore. The easiest solution is to move it to libutil, until we deprecate it for good. This solution was proposed by kib@ in https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=257789.

login_cap.h: Remove LOGIN_DEFPRI

2024-02-01T21:30:20Z

This is an implementation detail which is likely to become irrelevant in the future, as we move to not resetting the priority if the corresponding capability is not present in the configuration file ('/etc/login.conf'). GitHub's code search and Google show no use of this public constant, and it doesn't exist in OpenBSD and NetBSD. So, remove this definition and its sole use in-tree.

login_cap.h: Remove LOGIN_DEFUMASK

2024-02-01T21:30:14Z

This public constant has not been used in-tree since 1997 (this was noticed while working on previous commit "setusercontext(): umask: Set it only once (in the common case)"). Since it was an implementation detail and GitHub's code search and Google show no use of this symbol today, simply remove it.
