option to pwd_mkdb and adding this option to utilities invoking it.
Further, the filling of both the secure and insecure databases has been
merged into one loop giving also a performance improvemnet.
Note that I did *not* change the adduser command. I don't read perl
(it is a write only language anyway).
The change will drastically improve performance for passwd and
friends with large passwd files. Vipw's performance won't change.
In order to do that some kind of diff should be made between the
old and new master.passwd and depending the amount of changes, an
incremental or complete update of the databases should be agreed
upon.
aren't silently converted to minbrk. This stops malloc(INT_MAX) from
dumping core. Small values are still silently converted. They should
be an error. sbrk() doesn't do any range checking or conversions or
overflow checking.
Moved PIC_EPILOGUE invocation to a more natural place where it
obviously doesn't interfere with the comparison.
Document the fact that the tracefile argument must lead to a regular file.
Also took the opportunity to remove the spurious "Errors" entry
relating to filenames with the high-order bit set and add $Id$.
(More of the same to follow if there are no objections).
Added $Id$'s to files that were lacking them (gpalmer), made some
cosmetic changes to conform to style guidelines (bde) and checked
against NetBSD and Lite2 to remove unnecessary divergences (hsu, bde)
One last code cleanup:-
Removed spurious casts in fseek.c and stdio.c.
Added missing function argument in fwalk.c.
Added missing header include in flags.c and rget.c.
Put in casts where int's were being passed as size_t's.
Put in missing prototypes for static functions.
Changed second args of __sflags() inflags.c and writehook() in vasprintf.c
from char * to const char * to conform to prototypes.
This directory now compiles with no warnings with -Wall under
gcc-2.6.3 and with considerably less warnings than before with the
ultra-pedantic script I used for testing. (Most of the remaining ones
are due to const poisoning).
This will do as a stop-gap until I figure out a more fault-tolerant
way of having deferred closes against the control connection work
without blocking.
from jmz was a hopeless kludge (sorry Jean-Marc :) and handled the problem
in the wrong way. ftpRestart() has now gone away and ftpGet() has grown a
new parameter.
The usual stuff, adding missing function prototypes, argument types,
return values, etc.
This directory now compiles with no warnings with -Wall on gcc2.6.3!
The usual stuff, adding missing function prototypes, argument types,
return values, etc. In mktemp.c, convert pid from u_int to pid_t, and
get rid of "extern int errno".
Fixed a couple of nitpick warnings, plus one that slipped through the
net earlier.
This directory now compiles without any warnings with -Wall! (Until
the next gcc upgrade...)
1. Added missing function prototypes.
2. Added missing function return types.
3. Added missing function argument types.
4. Added missing headers for system function prototypes.
5. Corrected format specifier in printf().
6. Added extra parentheses around assignment used as truth value.
7. Added missing "default" cases in switch statements.
8. Added casts for function pointers.
9. Did *not* change int declarations of uid and gid to uid_t/gid_t
because I don't know if that would affect the protocol. Put in
explicit casts to int instead, to make things more obvious.
10. Moved declarations of variables that are only used if YP is
defined inside the '#ifdef YP' conditionals.

by W.Richard Ste vens. EINTR handling suggested by bde@freebsd.org).
Code cleanup:
1. Add missing return type.
2. Replace 'union wait' by int.
3. Use Posix-style signal handling instead of signal().
4. Use fork() instead of deprecated vfork().
5. Block signals before fork()'ing, instead of after.
6. Return -1 if fork() fails, instead of 0.
7. Add EINTR handling for waitpid() call.
Also add claim of Posix conformance to man page.
Now that we preserve RPC handles instead of rebuilding them each time
a ypcln function is called, we have to be careful about keeping our sockets
in a sane state. It's possible that the caller may call a ypclnt
function, and then decide to close all its file descriptors. This would
also close the socket descriptor held by the yplib code. Worse, it
could re-open the same descriptor number for its own use. If it then calls
another ypclnt function, the subsequent RPC will fail because the socket
will either be gone or replaced with Something Completely Different. The
yplib code will recover by rebinding, but it doing so it may wreck the
descriptor which now belongs to the caller.
To fix this, _yp_dobind() needs to label the descriptor somehow so
that it can test it later to make sure it hasn't been altered between
ypclnt calls. It does this by binding the socket, thus associating a port
number with it. It then saves this port number in the dom_local_port member
of the dom_binding structure for the given domain. When _yp_dobind() is
called again (which it is at the start of each ypclnt function), it checks
to see if the domain is already bound, and if it is, it does a getsockname()
on the socket and compares the port number to the one it saved. If the
getsockname() fails, or the port number doesn't match, it abandons the
socket and sets up a new client handle.
This still incurs some syscall overhead, which is what I was trying to
avoid, but it's still not as bad as before.
functions are implimented as wrappers around getservent(), which means it's
up to getservent() to do all the work. The NIS support in getservent()
only allows it to scan through the services.byname map one entry at a
time until it finds the requested service name/port. This can be painfully
slow due to the overhead involved (lots and lots of successive RPCs).
To fix this, we allow getservbyname() and getservbyport() to signal
getservent() that if NIS is turned on (there's a '+' in /etc/services),
the usual yp_first()/yp_next() linear search should be abandoned and
yp_match() used instead. This causes getservent() to immediately
locate the requested entry instead of wasting time groping through the
whole map.
The downside is that this trick is accomplished by exporting a couple of
pointers from getservent.c which getservbyname.c and getservbyport.c can
preset in order to tell getservent() what to do. If all three functions
were in the same source module, then the extra cruft could be delcared
static to avoid poluting the global symbol space. Maybe they should be
combined anyway. For now I've settled on prepending lots of underscores.
privileged port within a single bind(), rather than looping through
attempts to bind over and over again over progressively lower ports.
This should speed up rlogin/rsh etc, and will probably cure some of the
strange rlogin hangs that have been reported in the past where rresvport()
managed to bind() to a port address that it shouldn't have.
not based on gpl'ed code, just prototype and usage. I'm not 100% certain
they behave the same while the system is in trouble (eg: malloc() failing)
but in those circumstances all bets would be off anyway.
These routines work like sprintf() and vsprintf(), except that instead of
using a fixed buffer, they allocate memory and return it to the user
and it's the user's responsibility to free() it. They have allocate as
much memory as they need (and can get), so the size of strings it can deal
with is limited only by the amount of memory it can malloc() on your
behalf.
There are a few gpl'ed programs starting to use this interface, and it's
becoming more common with the scares about security risks with sprintf().
I dont like the look of the code that the various programs (including
cvs, gdb, libg++, etc) provide if configure can't find it on the system.
It should be possible to modify the stdio core code to provide this
interface more efficiently, I was more worried about having something
that worked and was secure. :-) (I noticed that there was once intended
to be a smprintf() routine when our stdio was written for 4.4BSD, but it
looks pretty stillborn, and it's intended interface is not clear). Since
Linux and gnu libc have this interface, it seemed silly to bring yet
another one onto the scene.
to call clnt_destroy() on a potentially NULL RPC handle. Somebody should
bang on this a bit to make sure the problem is really gone; I seem to
have difficulty reproducing it. Patch provided by Peter Wemm and
slightly tweaked by me.
- Don't call _yp_unbind() in individual ypclnt functions unless we encounter
an RPC error while making a clnt_call().
bugs in your code is to put it in the -stable branch. (Corollary: the
day you discover the bug is the day the Internet decides to route your
telnet session to the repository box via Zimbabwe.)
Remove one bogus free(result) (from _havemaster()) that slipped by me.

In a nutshell, this macroizes the local/global symbol scoping rules
that are different in a.out and ELF. It also makes the i386 assembler
stubs conform to i386 PIC calling conventions - the a.out ld.so didn't
object, but the ELF one needs it as it implements PIC jumps via PLT's as
well as calls. The a.out rtld only worked because it was accidently
snooping the grandparent calling function's return address off the stack..
This also affects the libc_r code a little, because of cpp macro nesting.
Each of the ypclnt functions does a _yp_dobind() when it starts and then
a _yp_unbind() when it finishes. This is not strictly necessary and it
wastes cycles: it means we do a new clnt_create() and clnt_destroy()
for each yp_whatever() call. In fact, you can do multiple clnt_call()s
using a single RPC client handle returned by clnt_create(). Ideally we only
have to create a handle to ypserv once (the first time we call a ypclnt
function) and then destroy it and rebind only if a call to ypserv fails.
- Modify _yp_dobind() so that it only creates a new RPC client handle
when establishing a new binding or when one of the ypclnt calls
invalidates an existing binding and calls _yp_dobind() to establish
a new one.
- Modify the various ypclnt functions to only call _yp_unbind() if a
call to ypserv fails.
