the implementation of the following feature in revision 1.4:
- Install Makefile.yp as /var/yp/Makefile.dist and link it to
/var/yp/Makefile only if /var/yp/Makefile doesn't already exist.
Suggested by Peter Wemm.
The actual code was only symlinking when no /var/yp/Makefile.dist
existed, i.e., never.
suffix attempts before failing. No need to try again by hand,
particularly when it fills your log with failures because
localhost.example.com..example.com fails to resolve. Also improve the
log message that helped find this error.
There is still (maybe) an uninitialised pointer problem here, but in a
month of testing I haven't triggered it.
needed to make the asynchronous DNS lookup mechanism work. (It needs to
be able to get/set the transaction ID in the trasport handle so it can
deliver a delayed UDP response when a reply is received from a DNS
server.) With TI-TPC, the transport handle has changed slightly (what
used to be an int is now a size_t) so we need to account for this.
associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.
Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.
Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.
This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).
The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.
Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.
Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.
There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.
While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.
New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.
Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.
Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.
