The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.
Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.
NFS diskless support is untested.

actually had this done at one point and lost it somewhere along the

is changed.
- After a child broadcaster process dies or is killed, set its dom_pipe_fds
descriptors to -1 so that the 'READFD > 0' test in the select() loop
does the right thing.
Since descriptor values can be re-used, failure to do this can lead
to a situation where a descriptor for an RPC socket can be mistaken for
a pipe. If this happens, RPC sockets could be incorrectly handed off to
handle_children(), which would then clear the descriptor from the select()
descriptor mask and prevent svc_getreqset() from handling them. The end
result would be that some RPC events would go unserviced. Curiously,
the failures only happen intermittently.

The final check is backwards or something so it always said it failed,

Unless we're willing to change the main tarballs from tar format to

from an ftp site if that's what you've got set.
Fix even more gripes from Poul's list.
P.S. As soon as I get the distfiles copied over to freefall tomorrow

be able to do so by grabbing the boot floppy and nothing else. Keep
your eyes open for my announcement.
Root floppy (which actually may be able to go completely away at some point
soon!) is now loadable from ftp/nfs/dos as well as CDROM and (of course)

Rod, Jordan and David have more or less given me the OK on this
with the understanding that it doesn't change any functionality.
It doesn't: these are bug fixes only. No other part of the system
should be affected. Of course, since I'm the only one working on
NIS, you'll just have to take my word on it. :)
Fixes for the following annoyingly subtle bugs:
- ypbindproc_setdom_2 is supposed to be declared void *, not boot_t *,
and it fails to correctly signal failures back to the ypset(8) command:
we need to call one of the svcerr_*() functions (in this case,
svcerr_noprog() seems a logical choice -- we're really cheating
a bit here because nothing else quite fits) to tell ypset that the
attempt to set the binding for a domain failed. If we don't do this,
failed ypset attempts either appear (incorrectly) to succeed, or
they time out.
- The lock handling for child processes isn't quite right. The
child broadcaster processes have to release all locks on the
binding files and the ypbind.lock file.
- The parent ypbind process will SEGV if you do the following:
-- start ypbind with the -ypset or -ypsetme flag
-- type 'ypwhich -d random_unserved_domain'
-- type 'ypset -d random_unserved_domain anyhost'
-- type 'ypwhich -d random_unserved_domain' again
-- wait about 60 seconds
What happens is this: the ypwhich command causes ypbind to fork a
broadcaster process that searches for a server for random_unserved_domain.
If you then use ypset to force a binding while this process is still alive,
the state flags that tell the ypbind parent process that the child
is running will be cleared. The second ypwhich command then causes
a *second* child process to be forked for random_unserved_domain,
which is verbotten. When the first broadcaster exits and tells the
parent that it wasn't able to find a server for the domain, the parent
clobbers the entry for random_unserved_domain. Then the second broadcaster
exits and the same thing happens, only trying to clobber the entry
twice causes a SEGV.
The fix for this is a slight change in program structure: since we
can't have more than one broadcaster for a given domain at a time,
we save the pipe descriptors and pid for the child broadcaster in members
of the _dom_binding struct for the domain. (As a side effect, we
can get rid of the global child_fds variable.) So when rpc_received()
finds that it's been asked to do a ypset for a domain for which a
broadcaster process exists, it sends a SIGINT to the child to kill it
and closes the pipe to the now-dead child. This keeps everything in sync
and insures that we don't leak file descriptors.
- ping() should be using YPPROC_DOMAIN rather than YPPROC_DOMAIN_NONACK
when it does its clnt_call() to the server.
- Removed the check for client_handle == NULL in ping() and make
client_handle local to ping instead of a member of the _dom_binding
struct. This fixes another potential ypset problem: using ypset to
force a binding to a machine that has an NIS server but which *doesn't*
support the domain we're after can result in permanently bogus bindings.
- the 'server OK' message prints the wrong IP address.
1. Fix a few bugs in the ftp installation code and implement proper
ftp and network shutdown routines.
2. Clean up the menus a fair bit - add a FreeBSD configuration menu.
3. Eliminate the last of the "chaining" - the installation now does

It remains to be seen how successfully. The distribution loading code
is still not here yet, but the partition/newfs/mount/cpio-extract cycle

The TCP/IP setup screen is also sort of here, albeit in a highly-changing

- Make the child process reaper signal-driven. (Previously, we called reaper()
once a second each time we went through the select() loop. This was
convenient, but inefficient.)
- Increase main select() timeout from 1 second to 60 seconds and use
this as the ping timer instead of using timestamps in the _dom_binding
structure. This nd the reaper() change noted above makes ypbind a little
less CPU-intensive.
- Don't flag EINTR's from select() as errors since they will happen as a
result of incoming SIGCHLD's interrupting select().
- Prevent possible resource hogging. Currently we malloc() memory
each time a user process asks us to establish a binding for a domain,
but we never free it. This could lead to serious memory leakage if a
'clever' user did something like ask ypwhich to check the bindings
for domains 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 through 9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9.9 inclusive.
(This would also make a mess out of the /var/yp/binding directory.)
We now avoid this silliness by a) limiting the maximum number of
simultaneous bindings we can manage to 200, and b) free()ing _dom_binding
structures of secondary domains whose servers have stopped responding.
We unlink the /var/yp/binding/domain.vers files for the free()ed
domains too.
(This is safe to do since a client can prod us into reestablishing the
binding, at which time we'll simply allocate a new _dom_binding structure
for it.)
We keep count of the total number of domains. If asked to
allocate more than the maximum, we return an error. I have yet to hear
of anybody needing 200 simultaneous NIS bindings, so this should be
enough. (I chose the number 200 arbitrarily. It can be increased if need
be.)
- Changed "server not responding"/"server OK" messages to display server
IP addresses again since it looks spiffier.
- Use daemon() to daemonify ourselves,
- Added a SIGTERM handler that removes all binding files and unregisters
the ypbind service from the portmapper when a SIGTERM in received.
- The comment 'blow away everything in BINDINGDIR' has no associated code.
Give it some: clean out /var/yp/binding at startup (if it exists).
This completes my ypbind wishlist. Barring bug fixes, I shouldn't need to
go poking around in here anymore. (Of course, this means I can start
working on my ypserv whishlist now... :)
Do another clean-up pass over this, making the generic menu handler much
more powerful (now handles multiple dispatch). A few more menus fleshed
out and the beginnings of the distribution handler committed. Should
be transfering full distributions over in the next commit.
