b4176c89f9 The previous change to alarm.3 to improve the wording
was still somewhat confusing and poorly worded.  So I took
the alarm.3 man page from NetBSD, which looked much
better all around.

56d18eda29 In _yp_dobind(), if we find ourselves required to contact the local ypbind
directly in order to obtain binding information, check that the local
ypbind is using a reserved port and return YPERR_YPBIND if it isn't.
We should not trust any ypbind running on a port >= IPPORT_RESERVED;
it may have been started by a malicious user hoping to trick us into
talking to a bogus ypserv.

Note that we do not check the ypserv port returned to us from ypbind.
It is assumed that ypbind has already done a reserved port test (or not,
depending on whether or not it was started with -s); if we trust the
authenticity of the local ypbind, we should also trust its judgement.

95c715795a Fixed comparisons so that preposterously large (>= 0x80000000) brk values
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.

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).

a230877213 Make _yp_dobind() a litle smarter:
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.

217ae63218 Improve NIS performace of getservbyname() and getservbyport(). Both these
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.

3ccd4a12e8 Use the setsockopt for IP_PORTRANGE to cause rresvport() to allocate a
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.

15aa00d597 Add an implementation of the gnu-ish asprintf() and vasprintf(). They are
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.

f1703dfbaa Add support to enable libc to be compiled in ELF format. (#ifdef __ELF__)
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.

a169c9b1f9 NIS client-side performance tweak:
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.

This change breaks similar (but more convoluted) convolutions in the

88ce2dd1ef Very minor tweak:
In __initdb(), a failure to open the local password database is supposed
to result in a warning message being syslog()ed. This warning is only
supposed to be generated as long as the 'warned' flag hasn't been yet;
once the warning is generated, the flag should be set so that the message
is only syslog()ed once. However, while the state of the flag is checked
properly, the flag's state is never changed, so you always get multiple
warnings instead of just one.

94c53e1fb5 NIS cleanups and fixes, the next generation.
getnetgrent.c:

- Catch one bogon that snuck by: in _listmatch(), check for '\0'
  rather than '\n'; strings returned from yp_match() are terminated
  with a nul, not a newline.

getpwent.c:

- Rip out all of the +inclusion/-exclusion stuff from before and
  replace it with something a little less grotty. The main problem
  with the old mechanism was that it wasted many cycles processing
  NIS entries even after it already knew they were to be exlcuded
  (or not included, depending on your pointof view). The highlights
  of these changes include:

  o Uses an in-memory hash database table to keep track of all the
    -@netgroup, -user, and -@group exclusions.

  o Tries harder to duplicate the behavior normally obtained when using
    NIS inclusions/exclusions on a flat /etc/passwd file (meaning things
    come out in much the same order).

  o Uses seperate methods for handling getpwent() and getpwnam()/getpwuid()
    operations instead of trying to do everything with one general
    function, which didn't work as well as I thought it would.

  o Uses both getnetgrent() and innetgr() to try to save time where
    possible.

  o Use only one special token in the local password database
    (_PW_KEYYPBYNUM) instead of seperate tokens to mark + and -
    entries (and stop using the counter tokens too). If this new
    token doesn't exist, the code will make due with the standard
    _PW_KEYBYNUM token in order to support older databases that
    won't have the new token in them.

  All this is an attempt to make this stuff work better in environments
  with large NIS passwd databases.

cbe78b44aa Fix a few NIS-related bogons:
- Clear the _yp_innetgr flag immediately after calling setnetgrent() from
  innetgr(). We only need the flag set to temporarily alter setnetgrent()'s
  behavior. Previously, it was being cleared too late.

- When in NIS-only mode, innetgr() was wasting time doing unecessary
  extra processing after it had already found a match.

- Remember to free memory allocated by the NIS functions during innetgr()
  searches.

20e4b00a08 Don't bother trying to flock() /var/run/ypbind.lock; this breaks when
/var/run resides on an NFS filesystem (flock() always returns 0 in
this case, so we falsely assume that ypbind is dead and bail out).

Settle instead for better failure checking when using clnttcp_create()
and clnt_call() to interact with ypbind. We still try to flock()
/var/yp/binding/$DOMAINNAME.2, but if this doesn't work, we drop into
the code that retrieves the binding information from ypbind directly.
If that also fails, then we're toast. On NFS filesystems, this means
we'll be ignoring the binding file for no reason and always talking to
ypbind even though we don't have to, but at least things will work.

(I could just replace the flock(/var/run/ypbind.lock) check with
an RPC call to ypbind's NULLPROC procedure, but if the flock() of
the binding file doesn't pan out we're going to try to talk to
ypbind later anyway. *sigh* Is NFS file locking ever going to work?)

ff27d2a474 Fix other half of problem reported in PR #1079: _getnetbynisaddr() is
broken. The translation from network number to ASCII string was not
working correctly (you would sometimes get things like 0.244.0.0 instead
of 244.0.0).

Also copied results of yp_match() to a static buffer for consistency
with gethostbynis.c.

Note: _getnetbynisaddr() chops off trailing .0's, i.e. 244.0.0 is
truncated to 244. By contrast, getnetbyht.c code (for local /etc/networks
lookups) leaves the traling .0's in place. This means that the NIS
and local file lookups will match different things when looking up the
same network number. I'm not sure which is the correct behavior. (I
think the DNS lookup code tries all combinations -- should the NIS
and local host lookup routines do that too?)

08aff01b5d Fix yp_all() so that it doesn't bogusly return YP_NOMORE at the end
of a successful map retrieval. (This has to do with a previous change
to xdr_ypresp_all_seq() and ypxfr_get_map(); originally, yp_all()
would look for a return value of YP_FALSE to signal success, but now
it should be looking for YP_NOMORE. It should not be passing YP_NOMORE
back up to the caller though.)

Noticed by:  <aagero@aage.priv.no>

There is also another small bug here, which is that the call to
xdr_free() that happens immediately after the clnt_call() in yp_all()
clobbers the return status value. I've worked around this for now,
but I think the xdr_free() is actually bogus and should be removed.
I want to check some more before I do that though.

- Also fix potential memory leak: copy the results of yp_match() to
  a static buffer and free the result (yp_match() returns dynamically
  allocated memory).

ether_addr.c:
