79a1b8d9e2 Implement incremental passwd database updates. This is done by ading a '-u'
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.

ba21c862b1 Whoops: had a couple of hardcoded instances of '/var/yp/' that shouldn't
have been there. Fixed to use yp_dir, which can be set on the command line.

4eaf2ef2cd Somehow, I truncated yp_dbwrite.c in the SRCS line to yp_dbwrite. Curiously,
this did not stop 'make' from working, but it did break 'make depend.'

8b6a78c2ec Added support for in-place updates:
If rpc.yppasswdd is invoked with the -i flag, password changes will
be made to the master.passwd template file and the hash map files
in-place, which means it won't have to run a complete map update.
Instead, it calls /var/yp/Makefile with the 'pushpw' target, which
just pushes the maps to the slaves and runs yp_mkdb -c to tell the
local ypserv to flush its database cache.

The server will check the passwd.byname and passwd.byuid maps to see
if they were built in 'insecure' or 'secure' mode (i.e. with real
encrypted passwords in them or without) and update them accordingly.

This combined with rpc.ypxfrd greatly reduces the amount of time it
takes to complete an NIS password change, especially with very large
passwd databases.

0c06051e16 Fix 'multidomain' code. It returns a pointer to memory that it doesn't
really own (and which can end up being mangled later). The manifestation
of this bug is that the first attempt by a user to change their NIS password
succeeds, but all subsequent attempts fail. rpc.yppasswdd also logs
a message about not being able to find a file called
'/var/yp/<some garbage string>/master.passwd.' (Note that for some
bizarre reason, this doesn't happen with the malloc() from FreeBSD 2.1.0.
I suppose this means we can chalk up another victory for phkmalloc. :)

This bug only occurs if you use the -m flag with rpc.yppasswdd.

Fix this by copying the domain name to a static buffer and returning
a pointer to that instead.

edf0e5b3f8 Correct some man page xrefs, and some other minor changes to bring some
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.

5cab6d3187 Make yppwupdate script redirect stderr to stdout; if we don't do this,
the error messages (if any) from yppush will end up on the system console
instead of the /var/yp/ypupdate.log file.

589b8bfc35 Add securenets support (uses same access control mechanism as ypserv,
also controlled by /var/yp/securenets).

Add -u flag to turn off the privileged port check done by yp_access();
some commercial systems (IRIX, Solaris 2.x, HP-UX, and probably others)
don't use a reserved port for submitting yppasswd updates. If we always
enforce the check, these client systems will be unable to submit updates
to us.

Document securenets support and -u flag in man page.

Like ypserv, you can compile rpc.yppasswdd to use the tcpwrapper package
instead of securenets if you want to.

8256fad9b7 Import new rpc.yppasswdd. (Note: accompanying changes to passwd(1) and
chpass(1) are on the way too.) This version supports all the features
of the old one and adds several new ones:

- Supports real multi-domain operation (optional, can be turned
  on with a command-line flag). This means you can actually have
  several different domains all served from one NIS server and
  allow users in any of the supported domains to change their passwords.
  The old yppasswdd only allowed changing passwords in the domain
  that was set as the system default domain name on the NIS master
  server. The new one can change passwords in any domain by trying
  to match the user information passed to it against all the passwd
  maps it can find. This is something of a hack, but the yppasswd.x
  protocol definiton does not allow for a domain to be passwd as an
  argument to rpc.yppasswdd, so the server has no choice but to
  grope around for a likely match. Since this method can fail if
  the same user exists in two domains, this feature is off by default.
  If the feature is turned on and the server becomes confused by
  duplicate entries, it will abort the update.

- Does not require NIS client services to be available. NIS servers do
  _NOT_ necessarily have to be configured as NIS clients in order to
  function: the ypserv, ypxfr and yppush programs I've written recently
  will operate fine even if the system domain name isn't set, ypbind isn't
  running and there are no magic '+' entries in any of the /etc files.
  Now rpc.yppasswdd is the same way. The old yppasswdd would not work
  like this because it depended on getpwent(3) and friends to look up
  users: this will obviously only work if the system where yppasswdd is
  running is configured as an NIS client. The new rpc.yppasswdd doesn't
  use getpwent(3) at all: instead it searches through the master.passwd
  map databases directly. This also makes it easier for it to handle
  multiple domains.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master server to change any user's
  password without requiring password authentication. rpc.yppasswdd
  creates a UNIX domain socket (/var/run/ypsock) which it monitors
  using the same svc_run() loop used to handle incoming RPC requests.
  It also clears all the permission bits for /var/run/ypsock; since
  this socket is owned by root, this prevents anyone except root from
  successfully connect()ing to it. (Using a UNIX domain socket also
  prevents IP spoofing attacks.) By building code into passwd(1) and
  chpass(1) to take advantage of this 'trusted' channel, the superuser
  can use them to send private requests to rpc.yppasswdd.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master to use chpass(1) to update _all_
  of a user's master.passwd information. The UNIX domain access point
  accepts a full master.passwd style structure (along with a domain
  name and other information), which allows the superuser to update all
  of a user's master.passwd information in the NIS master.passwd maps.
  Normal users on NIS clients are still only allowed to change their full
  name and shell information with chpass.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master to _add_ records to the NIS
  master.passwd maps using chpass(1). This feature is also switchable
  with a command-line flag and is off by default.
