I also removed the hack how rpcinfo contacted rpcbind, now we can
relay on clnt_tp_create create the client-handle for us. Only
rpcbind itself needs a hardcoded socket-path.

Also add $FreeBSD
for crypt(3) by now. In any case:
Add crypt_set_format(3) + documentation to -lcrypt.
Add login_setcryptfmt(3) + documentation to -lutil.
Support for switching crypt formats in passwd(8).
Support for switching crypt formats in pw(8).
The simple synopsis is:
edit login.conf; add a passwd_format field set to "des" or "md5"; go nuts :)

when the user enters an all lower case password -- i.e., it prompts them
to use mixed case, and will only grudgingly accept an all lower case
password.
If you negate this entry in login.conf, with "mixpasswordcase@", then
passwd will allow all lower case passwords without complaining.

happened as it was working around problems elsewhere (ie: binutils/ld
not doing the right thing according to the ELF design). libcrypt has
been adjusted to not need the runtime -lmd. It's still not quite right
(ld is supposed to work damnit) but at least it doesn't impact all the
users of libcrypt in Marcel's cross-build model.
"passwordtime" is what passwd(1) has actually been using. I suspect
passwordperiod was the original intent. I can't figure-out which,
if either, BSDi uses. If anyone knows...
It selects which hash format to use by checking /etc/auth.conf for
auth_default. Leaving auth_default disabled will give the current
behaviour (use the same format as is currently used in the password,
or if a new password default to what crypt likes best--des if it exists).
Now you can set it to one of: des, best, md5 or sha1. best is a synonym
for sha1, currently.
(I'm not sure why this happens, though I suspect it may be because
the server is configured with only passwd maps instead of both passwd
and master.passwd maps. This is allowed, but I think in this case
pw_class is left NULL, hence the problem.)
Also applied similar patch to chpass/pw_yp.c just for paranoia's sake.

Fixed by removing the schg flag on all of the links before installing.

What this change does, simply speaking, is syslog it every time
someone changes their local password. I need this at a local ISP to

not. To disable it, uncomment -DLOGGING in the Makefile.
If your users change their passwords so often as to fill your logfile,
then you may also have another administrative problem to deal with.
after I installed the last SNAP :). Because of the way the 'use NIS
or local?' logic is set up here, it was possible to force the use
of the NIS password changer even though the specified user didn't exist
in NIS (i.e. # passwd foo, where foo is a local-only user). In this
case, we fall intp yp_passwd() without the corresponding yp_password
structure being filled in, which leads to an NULL pointer dereference.
Also fixed the logic like I just did with chpass so that if the user
is both in NIS and the local password database, the program makes a
more sensible guess as to which one to use (if NIS is turned on in
/etc/master.passwd, then use NIS, else default to local).
RPC calls to rpc.yppasswdd, but when using the special superuser-only

additional fields, including pw_change.)

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.
In passwd(1):
- Gut most of yp_passwd.c and leave only a few things that aren't common
to pw_yp.c.
- Add support for -d and -h flags to select domains and NIS server hosts
to use when updating NIS passwords. This allows passwd(1) to be used
for changing NIS passwords from machines that aren't configured as
NIS clients. (This is mostly to allow passwd(1) to work on NIS master
servers that aren't configured as clients -- an NIS server need not
necessarily be configured as a client itself.)
NOTE: Realize that having the ability to specify a domain and hostname
lets you use passwd(1) (and chpass(1) too) to submit update requests
to yppasswd daemons running on remote servers in remote domains which
you may not even be bound to. For example, my machine at home is not
an NIS client of the servers on the network that I manage, yet I can
easily change my password at work using my FreeBSD box at home by doing:
'passwd -d work.net.domain -h any.nis.server.on.my.net wpaul'. (Yes,
I do use securenets at work; temporarily modified my securenets file
to give my home system access.) Some people may not be too thrilled
with this idea. Those who don't like this feature can recompile passwd(1)
and chpass(1) with -DPARANOID to restrict the use of these flags to
the superuser.
(Oh, I should be adding proper securenets support to ypserv(8) and
rpc.yppasswdd(8) over the weekend.)
- Merge in changes to allow root on the NIS master server to bypass
authentication and change any user's NIS password. (The super-user
on the NIS master already has privileges to do this, but doing it
through passwd(1) is much easier than updating the maps by hand.)
Note that passwd(1) communicates with rpc.yppasswdd(8) via a UNIX
domain socket instead of via standard RPC/IP in this case.
- Update man page.
In chpass(1):
- Fix pw_yp.c to work properly in environments where NIS client
services aren't available.
- Use realloc() instead of malloc() in copy_yp_pass() and copy_local_pass().
- Fix silly bug in copy_yp_pass(); some of the members of the passwd
structure weren't being filled in correctly. (This went unnoticed
for a while since the old yppasswdd didn't allow changes to the
fields that were being botched.)
- chpass(1) now also allows the superuser on the NIS master server to
make unrestricted changes to any user's NIS password information.
- Use UNIX domain comm channel to rpc.yppasswdd(8) when run by the
superuser on the NIS master. This allows several new things:
o superuser can update an entire master.passwd.{byname,byuid} entry
o superuser can update records in arbitrary domains using -d flag to
select a domain (before you could only change the default domain)
o superuser can _add_ records to the NIS master.passwd maps, provided
rpc.yppasswdd(8) has been started with the -a flag (to do this,
the superuser must force NIS operation by specifying the -y flag
to chpass(1) along with -a, i.e. 'chpass -y -a 'foo:::::::::')
- Back out the 'chpass -a <new password entry> breaks with NIS' fix
from the last revision and fix it properly this time. The previous
revision fixed the immediate problem but broke NIS operation in
some cases.
- In edit.c, be a little more reasonable about deciding when to
prevent the shell field from being changed.
Submitted by Charles Owens <owensc@enc.edu>, who said:
"I made a minor (one-line) modification to chpass, with regards
to whether or not it allows the changing of shells. In the 2.0.5 code,
field changing follows the settings specified in the "list" structure
defined in table.c . For the shell, though, this is ignored. A quick
look in edit.c showed me why, but I don't understand why it was written as
such. The logic was
if shell is standard shell, allow changing
I changed it to
if shell changing is allowed (per table.c) and it is a standard shell
OR if uid=0, then allow changing."
Makes sense to me.
- Update man page.
appear that ALL the passwd command does is change a users Kerberos
password, since that is incorrect.
Actually, this man page needs a good overhaul to better reflect systems
that don't have Kerberos installed.
Changing a local passwd will now keep the encryption type that
was originally used to encrypt the password, so folks adding DES
to their systems will not be irritated/confused by having MD5'ed
passwords in their master.passwd. Coming later is an option to
allow the user to choose the encryption type.

Do it like local_passwd.c does.
correctly whether a user is local or NIS (or both, or neither). If you
have a user that exists locally but not in NIS, passwd(1) could get
confused and try to submit the password change to NIS. (Fortunately,
yppasswdd is smart enough to spot the error and reject the change.)

Change things slightly so this message says "local" or "YP" as needed

confusing people.
password strings when DES isn't used; somehow the encrypted password
is corrupted and it winds up containing control chars, which yppasswdd
subsequently rejects. This breaks yppasswd on non-DES FreeBSD systems
using NIS.
Fix: scrap getnewyppasswd() entirely and use getnewpasswd() from
local_password.c, since it already works properly and is virtually
identical to getnewyppasswd() anyway. (Wish I'd noticed this sooner.)
This fixes a problem just reported on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc.
that it can't contact an NIS server when asked to change the password
of an invalid user. It should say 'unknown user' instead.
The fix is to check for the _PW_KEYYPENABLED flag in the password
database and only roll over into the yppasswd stuff if the flag
is enabled (this means passwd will not behave as yppasswd if
there are no +::::::::: entries in /etc/master.passwd). If
NIS is enabled but the user says 'passwd -l foouser' where
foouser exists in the NIS maps, but not in /etc/master.passwd,
we also say 'unknown user.' This is so we don't outsmart ourselves:
specifying the -l flag restricts passwd to the local password database
even if NIS is enabled.
This change should probably be merged into 2.1.
the symlinks for yppasswd & friends (we still can't use hard links
because passwd is installed immutable). This would have been simpler
if the LN_FLAGS variable hadn't chosen to wait until now before leaping

I was enlightened.)
of hard links: since passwd is installed immutable, an attempt to make
a hard link to it during a 'make install' would fail. I didn't notice
this conflict because my /usr directory is an NFS filesystem mounted from a
SunOS server, so the special file mode flags had no effecti when I tested
everything on my machine. Live and learn.
This is the first round of changes to incorporate YP server functionality
into FreeBSD. This particular change allows passwd to change either the
local or NIS password, as well as the NIS GECOS and shell information.
Essentially, I've taken passwd(1) and yppasswd from the yppasswd-0.5
distribution (which is part of the NYS project -- a project to provide
a GNU GPL'ed suite of NIS tools) and rammed them into each other
at high speed. I've tried my best to make this co-exist with the
Kerberos stuff, but since I don't run Kerberos I don't have an easy
way to verify that it all works. If you choose any Kerberos flags
then the YP checks should be bypassed, but that may not be enough.
I'll modify it some more if it turns out I broke something. For now,
support for localand NIS passwords is pretty solid:
- If you simply type 'passwd,' the program checks to see if you exist
in the local pwd.db database. If not, you get bounced to YP.
- If you try to force local functionality with the -l flag and you
don't exist locally, you get an error.
The -y flag can be used to force YP functionality. -f and -s let you
change your full name and shell (respectively). -f *and* -s let you
change all of your 'account information.'
ypchfn, ypchsh, yppasswd and ypchpass are all links to passwd.
1) It was export-controlled.
2) It used some ad-hoc protocol invented by Berkeley in ignorance of the
standard MIT distribution's way of doing it (which makes it useless
to most people).
This should be fixed once we have `kadmin'/`kadmind'.
- Get rid of inverse logic (NOKERBEROS and NOEBONES) in src/makefile,
and replace with MAKE_KERBEROS and MAKE_EBONES. (Far fewer contortions,
and both default to off.) IF YOU WANT KERBEROS, YOU HAVE TO EXPLICITLY
DEFINE ONE OF THESE.
- Make Makefiles kerberos-aware.
