* manual: Replace summary.awk with summary.pl.Rical Jasan2017-06-151-42/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Summary is now generated from @standards, and syntax-checking is performed. If invalid @standards syntax is detected, summary.pl will fail, reporting all errors. Failure and error reporting is disabled for now, however, since much of the manual is still incomplete wrt. header and standards annotations. Note that the sorting order of the Summary has changed; summary.pl respects the locale, like summary.awk did, but the use of LC_ALL=C is introduced in the Makefile. Other notable deviations are improved detection of the annotated elements' names, which are used for sorting, and improved detection of the @node used to reference into the manual. The most noticeable difference in the rendered Summary is that entries may now contain multiple lines, one for each header and standard combination. summary.pl accepts a `--help' option, which details the expected syntax of @standards. If errors are reported, the user is directed to this feature for further information. * manual/Makefile: Generate summary.texi with summary.pl. Force use of the C locale.

* Mention FIPS 140-2 compliance and Sun RPC.Carlos O'Donell2013-10-191-1/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Secure RPC implementation in glibc uses DES encryption during authentication of the user. This use of DES means that anyone using Sun RPC will likely not be compliant with FIPS 140-2 which forbids the use of DES. One solution to the compliance issue is to disable AUTH_DES and AUTH_KERB, both use DES, when in FIPS compliance mode. This is not a good idea because it disables all of the even mildly secure methods of authentication allowing only plain text methods. Instead we leave AUTH_DES and AUTH_KERB enabled in FIPS compliance mode and document the compliance issue in the manual. FIPS allows this, that is to say that if you can't fix it you must document the non-compliance. This commit adds documentation to that effect in the "DES encryption and password handling" section of the manual.
