Drop ed(1) "crypto"

You should not be using DES. You should not have been using DES for the
past 30 years.

The ed DES-CBC scheme lacked several desirable properties of a sealed
document system, even ignoring DES itself. In particular, it did not
provide the "integrity" cryptographic property (detection of tampering), and
it treated ASCII passwords as 64-bit keys (instead of using a KDF like
scrypt or PBKDF2).

Some general approaches ed(1) users might consider to replace the removed
DES mode:

1. Full disk encryption with something like AES-XTS. This is easy to
conceptualize, design, and implement, and it provides confidentiality for
data at rest. Like CBC, it lacks tampering protection. Examples include
GELI, LUKS, FileVault2.

2. Encrypted overlay ("stackable") filesystems (EncFS, PEFS?, CryptoFS,
others).

3. Native encryption at the filesystem layer. Ext4/F2FS, ZFS, APFS, and
NTFS all have some flavor of this.

4. Storing your files unencrypted. It's not like DES was doing you much
good.

If you have DES-CBC scrambled files produced by ed(1) prior to this change,
you may decrypt them with:

openssl des-cbc -d -iv 0 -K <key in hex> -in <inputfile> -out <plaintext>

# a7d5f7eb 19-Oct-2010 Jamie Gritton <jamie@FreeBSD.org>

A new jail(8) with a configuration file, to replace the work currently done
by /etc/rc.d/jail.


# fe0506d7 09-Mar-2010 Marcel Moolenaar <marcel@FreeBSD.org>

Create the altix project branch. The altix project will add support
for the SGI Altix 350 to FreeBSD/ia64. The hardware used for porting
is a two-module system, consisting of a base compute module and a
CPU expansion module. SGI's NUMAFlex architecture can be an excellent
platform to test CPU affinity and NUMA-aware features in FreeBSD.


# d7f03759 19-Oct-2008 Ulf Lilleengen <lulf@FreeBSD.org>

- Import the HEAD csup code which is the basis for the cvsmode work.


# 2a456239 27-Aug-1999 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

$Id$ -> $FreeBSD$


# b97fa2ef 22-Feb-1997 Peter Wemm <peter@FreeBSD.org>

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 1130b656 14-Jan-1997 Jordan K. Hubbard <jkh@FreeBSD.org>

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.


# 89730b29 23-Sep-1994 David Greenman <dg@FreeBSD.org>

Added $Id$


# 95e6217e 31-Jan-1994 Andrew Moore <alm@FreeBSD.org>

Fixed range address bug: 1,2, == 2,2 not 2,.
Overhauled the name space, reworked some modules and removed the
obsolescent Addison-Wesley copyright.


# 5a5100e3 09-Aug-1993 Andrew Moore <alm@FreeBSD.org>

added (unsiged) cast to avoid int overflow
removed REGEX directive


# 30154ac8 18-Jun-1993 Andrew Moore <alm@FreeBSD.org>

POSIX ed version 0.6 by Andrew Moore (alm@netcom.com).
