Just a personal curiosity. Is there a particular reason why FreeBSD
is holding on to BDB 1.85?
All later versions have a non-BSD license (a source redistribution
requirement was added), which means it can't go in the base system.
BDB is built into libc and is used for the hashed passwd & termcap
databases.
Correct.
BDB 1.85 is also packaged in gnu libc I believe, which makes it a more
portable means for representing databases without external libraries.
