Fenner was kind enough to point out the error of my ways. This incorporates
diffs from him which:
- Keep everything in network order.
- Log the booted ether & ip address, instead of my address on that net
- change several exit()'s to return()'s, so that rarpd continues running
even if it thinks it's in a weird state.
One small tweak by me: in rarp_bootable(), we have to make sure to
construct 'ipname' in host byte order (if we don't, we have to
specify /tftpboot/<remote IP in hex> with <remote IP in hex> in
network byte order, which is confusing).
Also restored use of <dirent.h> rather than <sys/dir.h> as pointed
out by bde.
Also updated the man page so that the -v flag is documented.
With any luck, I won't have to touch this thing again.
- It no longer attempts to fiddle wall-vs-UTC-in-RTC. The results
were just confusing most of the time.
- The program no longer contains a pre-compiled list of timezones
(compiled by groveling through the tzdata source files for comments
starting with `ZONE-DESCR'). Now it uses the new `zone.tab' file
supplied with current versions of the timezone data files, to determine
the list at run time. (It also requires the ISO 3166 table I
committed some months ago.)
AS A RESULT, this program will NOT work until the new timezone data files
are committed (should happen sometime soon).
This includes the following changes:
- Support for poking ARP entries into the local table is now built
in, so the arptab.c module I hacked together is no longer needed.
- rarp_process() and rarp_reply() now accept a len argument which is
passed down from rarp_loop() which tells rarp_reply() exactly how
long the original RARP frame was. (Usually, it's 60 bytes, which is
the minimum.) Previously, the length was calculated using the sum
of sizeof(struct ether_header) + sizeof(struct ether_arp) (plus the
ethernet frame header, I think). The result was a total packet
length of 42 bytes. Now, rarp_reply() sends out packets that are
the same size as those it recieves (60 bytes). This agrees with the
behavior of rarpd on SunOS (as observed with tcpdump). The unused
extra bytes are zeroed.
the races in my previous commits here, and fix some other problems with
syslogd as well.
- if the child process exited early (eg: could not bind to the socket),
the boot process would hang for 30 seconds. The parent was not noticing
that the child had exited. (my fault)
- when writing to tty devices, instead of treating them like files that
need \r\n instead of \n, actually use ttymsg() which has specific code
intended to write to potentially blocking ttys safely. I had a machine
lock up last night because /dev/console on a serial port got flow control
blocked. Setting comcontrol drainwait fixed everything but syslogd which
was going into a spin trying to write to the console and completely
ignoreing everything else.
- fix a couple of nonsensical bits of code while here.. eg: wait3 takes
a pointer to an int. There is no sense in declaring it as 'union wait',
then casting the pointer to (int *), then forgetting about it.
Add printing of PCI header type register. (This makes the output
80 columns wide. Ughh. I'm looking for a better way to put the
information on one line ...)
and set the B and S variables here, but I forgot to actually add them to
the master.passwd and hosts.* targets. In other words, they weren't being
passed to yp_mkdb as needed.
This needs to go into 2.2; it doesn't break things a lot, but it leaves
your master.passwd maps available to unprivileged users without you
realizing it.
clear channel. This change was originally put in for freefall, and is
completely irrelevant given that freefaill defines the generic SMTP
service to use the smtp8 mailer (which is standard mechanism.)
[The original patch violated RFC-821.]
Apply to: 2.2 (please)
endian-ness fix, Router Alert options on IGMP messages, and a
new keyword, "advert_metric", for fine-tuning tunnel metrics.
This also includes a new mtrace, which is also unreleased but
builds significantly on the experiences of users' troubles with
using and understanding mtrace in release 3.8 .
(unreleased does not, of course, mean untested!)
This is a candidate for both 2.2 and 2.1.6 .

Changes to allow inted to control the number of servers to

in which the system is made unusable by
an external party. It also allows the behaviour of
small memory systems to be more accuratly predicted, by

2. Conditionalized a few small things which needed it.
3. Put PC98 X servers in their own menu, there are so many of them now.
4. Rampaged on the menus.c file in general, reformatting and cleaning up.
Not all mappings are supported, most languages come only with one
encoding since this should be sufficient to get up & running in using
sysinstall, and we are already pretty tight on space. (My previous
commit has already bumped the boot MFS size by another 50 KB for
this.)
This feature requires the `kbdcontrol -L' i've just committed. Plain
text keymaps and the entire scanner are overkill for sysinstall.
Also updated the list of available keymaps while i was at it.

. Don't gzip the crunched binary by now; it just fits, and execution is
a lot faster this way (it's truly demand-paged again).
. Add more(1), ft(8), protocols(5), a stripped down services(5).
. Improve the .profile, and make sysinstall actually use it again.
Still no go for a 4 MB configuration though. :-(
but make a second attempt using MNT_FORCE, just in case it has been
unclean from a previous crash. That's dangerous, but far better than
keeping the despaired user standing in the rain...
(Experienced admins can still fsck it then, and remount. Others will
either totally crash, or incidentally succeed, without much further
help possible...)
Btw., mount(2) misses the description of MNT_FORCE for the mount
syscall.
