3d6720c140 <programlisting> tags are rendered as blocks, and are not normally
used inside of a <para>.  Previously, that was done here, which was
fine until I accidentally wrapped the paragraph which messes up the
formatting since <programlistings> are sensisitve to \n.  This change
separates out the <programlisting> from the <para>, as is done
elsewhere in the handbook.  Thanks to Tom Hukins for spotting my error
in accidentally wrapping the <programlisting>.

e965180cec 1) Consistently capitalise the entries in the table of NIS components.
2)	A couple of grammatical nits.

3)	Completely remove the outdated section on libscrypt and libdescrypt,
	and replace with an outline of login.conf, the passwd_format capability
	and auth.conf, along with an outline of why this is an issue with NIS.

403359dd43 Remove reference to net/gated port, as it is now commercial (and in
fact, the company has sought out FreeBSD vendors in the past looking
for royalty money).

We still need to update the Handbook and many manpages to provide
recommendations for situations in which routed is inadequate.  All I
have done is fix the broken link.

cbbbe65b73 Greatly expand the information here. Unbreak the build (stray " crept
in in my last commit).  Eliminate the use of wicontrol to setup hostap
mode.  Warn about using current firmware for hostap.  Describe IBSS
and BSS at least a little bit, as well as the various flavors of
ad-hoc mode.

# This is better, but additional work is still needed.
