This seems to do the trick for me too, testing on macOS/amd64; it does not seem to harm FreeBSD/amd64.

I offered the same patch in D51897, with:
Should we involve secteam@ regarding the extra algorithms enabled?
I am not aware of any security concern there as of today, but I think we had stuck with OpenSSL's own list of default algorithms so far for the base system.

Note that I have reservations about the part adding params_idx.c to the list of files built: from what I can tell, OpenSSL expects this to be available from libcrypto.so, instead of a copy inside the legacy provider module.
I suspect the more correct fix is to add the ossl_param_find_pidx to secure/lib/libcrypto/Version.map instead - which also kinda feels wrong.

Got 32-bit PowerPC to build.

I am now trying to build 32-bit PowerPC with this set in secure/lib/libcrypto/Makefile.common:

I think this diff should also update secure/lib/libcrypto/Makefile.inc with the corresponding OPENSSL_VER and OPENSSL_DATE.

Even though I have the approval of my mentor, it would be great to have approval from the installer group for this change before I proceed with the commit.
Please let me know!

I have managed to rebase the diff, and tested both jail and auto with bsdinstall.
This also simplifies the save/restore functions as suggested.

- Re-indented the case statement
- Added a check for empty passwords
- Reworked error management

I have added everyone on the de-facto installer group that met on Monday; sorry for the noise.
(Should we create a Phabricator group for us? Apologies if I did not find it)
Also noteworthy in terms of UX:
- With bsddialog, the <TAB> key will go straight from the first input field to the [ OK ] button; the "arrow down" key should be used instead.
- Entering a mismatching password resets both password fields. (Like the passwd(8) command)
- This does not allow setting an empty password; it then fails with error Incorrect input data. (This is unlike the passwd(8) command)
This could be frustrating to some users.

Since I am not a doc committer, I have pushed a copy of this commit at https://github.com/khorben/freebsd-doc/tree/khorben/new-committer for convenience.
Reflect the new expiration date for the PGP/GPG key, after passing the documentation/tools/checkkey.sh test.

You are right, the old scheme is less confusing.
The changes proposed here look correct to me.

Add descriptions of the fields used, as per the example from securitytxt.org.
Removed the (optional) links for "any security-related job openings in your organisation."

Would it be more clear or accurate to mention the "Pentium MMX" instead or in addition to the Pentium Pro?
It was much more common and known to the public than the Pentium Pro.

This avoids an issue with makefs(8) when building without a manifest file. (e.g., when building as root)
Consequently it should work both when using a manifest file as well as without, although it still requires root privileges in both cases, for e.g., chroot(8) and mount(8).
