This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
map databases. Also document said flags in the man page.
Adding YP_INTERDOMAIN to a map causes ypserv(8) to do a DNS lookup
when a yp_match() on the map fails. (This affects only the hosts.by*
maps; for all other maps it's ignored.) The YP_SECURE entry causes
ypserv(8) to restrict access to the map so that only clients making
requests from reserved ports can get at it.
Our ypserv doesn't currently support these features so they're silently
ignored for the moment, but this will change. :)
hopefully less grotty. Differences include:
- An extra flag, -c, for sending a YPPROC_CLEAR to ypserv(8) (which
will become useful once I merge in the DB handle caching mods I've
been working on).
- Checks for and signals duplicate keys.
- Handles line continuations.
As of now, there is no more GNU YP code in the tree.
