New Revision: 228466
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/228466

Log:
  MFH r228384: validate the service name
  
  Security:	some poorly thought out programs allow the user to specify
  		the service name; this patch makes it harder to trick these
  		programs into loading and executing arbitrary code.
