understand why it can become a null pointer under some circumstances,
but i've got a pile of tapes where this happens, and running it thru a
debugger proved that simply ending the loop in this case did the right
thing.
Anyway, it cannot make it worse than now, where restore kills itself
with "Memory fault".

Allow for disk names to be specified (e.g. `sd0') instead of full
path names only.

- getnetgrent.c: address some NIS compatibility problems. We really need
to use the netgroup.byuser and netgroup.byhost maps to speed up innetgr()
when using NIS. Also, change the NIS interaction in the following way:
If /etc/netgroup does not exist or is empty (or contains only the
NIS '+' token), we now use NIS exclusively. This lets us use the
'reverse netgroup' maps and is more or less the behavior of other
platforms.
If /etc/netgroup exists and contains local netgroup data (but no '+').
we use only lthe local stuff and ignore NIS.
If /etc/netgroup exists and contains both local data and the '+',
we use the local data nd the netgroup map as a single combined
database (which, unfortunately, can be slow when the netgroup
database is large). This is what we have been doing up until now.
Head off a potential NULL pointer dereference in the old innetgr()
matching code.
Also fix the way the NIS netgroup map is incorporated into things:
adding the '+' is supposed to make it seem as though the netgroup
database is 'inserted' wherever the '+' is placed. We didn't quite
do it that way before.
(The NetBSD people apparently use a real, honest-to-gosh, netgroup.db
database that works just like the password database. This is
actually a neat idea since netgroups is the sort of thing that
can really benefit from having multi-key search capability,
particularly since reverse lookups require more than a trivial
amount of processing. Should we do something like this too?)
- netgroup.5: document all this stuff.
- rcmd.c: some sleuthing with some test programs linked with my own
version of innetgr() has revealed that SunOS always passes the NIS
domain name to innetgr() in the 'domain' argument. We might as well
do the same (if YP is defined).
- ether_addr.c: also fix the NIS interaction so that placing the
'+' token in the /etc/ethers file makes it seem like the NIS
ethers data is 'inserted' at that point. (Chances are nobody will
notice the effect of this change, which is just te way I like it. :)
1024 that used to remain on a line of its own after savecore completed

fclosed twice and this didn't seem to cause any problems, but when
/var/crash was on an an unwritable nfs-mounted partition, fclose(NULL)
caused a core dump.
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.

parameters are. You can use dumpfs, but that's not obvious which settings
are tuneable, and is far from clear to the non-guru (it's like using a
hexdump of a tar archive to get a table-of-contents).
There is also an undocumented option in the man page that can be dangerous.
Suppose your disk driver decides to scramble all writes while you tell
tunefs to update all backup superblocks.
This suggested change adds a '-p' (print) switch to bring it in
line with some SVR4 systems.

claims multiple times to have failed. The problem is a off_t is
converted into a int and checked for a negative. A true lseek check
should be checking if the off_t is equal to -1 for failure.

one or more non-nfs partitions fail to mount.
