	* stdio-common/printf_fp.c (__printf_fp): Use default value `.` if
 	`decimal' char is 0.

	* C-numeric.c (not_available): New constant.
	(_nl_C_LC_NUMERIC): Use `not_available' for grouping value.

	* nss/nsswitch.conf: Example configuration file.
	* nss/db-Makefile: Example Makefile for generation of databases
	for nss_db.
	* nss/Makefile (distribute): Add nsswitch.conf and db-Makefile.

1996-08-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* C-messages.c (_nl_C_LC_MESSAGES): Set yesexpr to "^[yY]" and
 	noexpr to "^[nN]"; this conforms to POSIX.2.

	* C-time.c (_nl_C_LC_TIME): Change %d to %e in d_t_format, to
 	conform to POSIX.2.

1996-08-28  Paul Eggert  <eggert@twinsun.com>

	* C-monetary.c (not_available): New constant.
	(_nl_C_LC_MONETARY): Set mon_decimal_point to "", and set
 	mon_grouping, int_frac_digits, frac_digits, p_cs_precedes,
 	p_sep_by_space, n_cs_precedes, n_sep_by_space, p_sign_posn, and
 	n_sign_posn to CHAR_MAX, as required by the POSIX Standard.

Wed Aug 28 23:12:28 1996  Ulrich Drepper  <drepper@cygnus.com>

	* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c: Correct function names.  They must be
	`_nss_db_*' instead of `_nss_files_*'.
	(lookup): `parse_line' returns 1 if succesful.
	* nss/nss_files/files-service.c (servbyname): Key for database
	must also contain protocol names.
	(servbypt): Likewise.
	Test must also check for protocol.  Add `proto' argument.

Tue Aug 27 09:56:13 1996  Andreas Schwab  <schwab@issan.informatik.uni-dortmund.de>

	* MakeTAGS ($P/subdirs.pot): Prefix all file names, not only the
	first one.

Fri Aug 16 16:11:25 1996  Thomas Bushnell, n/BSG  <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

	* nss/nss_dns/dns-host.c (_nss_dns_gethostbyname2_r): Treat
 	EPFNOSUPPORT and EAFNOSUPPORT as implying NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL just
 	like ECONNREFUSED already does.
	(_nss_dns_gethostbyaddr_r): Likewise.
	* nss/nss_dns/dns-network.c (_nss_dns_getnetbyname_r): Likewise.
	(_nss_dns_getnetbyaddr_r): Likewise.

	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/socket.c (socket): For message transmission
 	and RPC errors that indicate that the socket server is not really
 	present and able to do its job, turn the error into EPFNOSUPPORT.

	* sysdeps/generic/sbrk.c (__sbrk):  Get kernel brk address
	always only if in static libc or if statically linked program
	uses libc.so.
