- the .gz files are no longer used as intermediate files, it's in a pipe
now. (gunzip normally deleted them anyway, but this should not hurt)
- I accidently left a -p arg to install from testing. Bruce says it should
be ${COPY} instead, but almost everything else in the tree uses plain -c
anyway.
- Use "LINKS=" or two identical files are installed sepeately instead of
as links (doh!)
- Use "LIB..." instead of "BIN..." for install permissions. Note that we
still use bsd.prog.mk, not bsd.lib.mk because bsd.lib.mk has problems
(it can't install a library unless it compiles it).
- Define LIBCOMPATDIR in Makefile.inc instead of using BINDIR.

just return errors. This removes the need for awful hacks like that in
our build of libtcl which would get link errors when linked static.
John Polstra once mentioned that this was on his "todo" list.
Note that one can use:
cc -Wl,-Bstatic -o foo foo.o
and get an executable that has it's libraries statically linked, but has
a fully functional runtime linker so the executable can call dlopen() and
have it work. (I've tested this)
- getpwent:
o adjunctbuf should be NUL terminated after copying
o _pw_breakout_yp() needs to know the length of the buffer returned
from YP so it can properly NUL terminate its local buffer.
- getgrent:
o YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and NUL terminated.
(Previously they were hardcoded to 1024 bytes.)
- getnetgrent:
o YP data should be copied with snprintf(), not sprintf()
These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.
- getservent:
o put _yp_check() proto under #ifdef YP where it belongs
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying
- gethostbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long
- getnetbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying
- ether_addr:
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying (in this case it's BUFSIZ + 2 bytes,
but it happens that BUFSIZ == YPMAXRECORD.
- gethostbydns:
o nuke stray 'return(NULL)' in __dns_getanswer() (harmless but looks silly)
These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.
line length limit anymore - now 500 members or 5000 members are
possible. For security group lines longer than 256K will be count as
an error. 256K should be enough for 65536 users.
Support comments (lines that begin with a #) if compiled with
option -DGROUP_IGNORE_COMMENTS.
Fortunately it seems that all system utilities which use getgrent()
functions are dynamically linked executables. So you need only
rebuild libc.so.3.0 if you want this change. Note: if you have
an old X server which depend on libc.so.2.* you should rebuild
libc.so.2.* too.
Not a 2.2 candidate.
lookup results. Without this, doing multiple host/addr lookups in a
single process yeilds strange results (the buffer is static, and
garbage may be left behind from previous lookups).
I just noticed this in 2.2-BETA. Unless somebody threatens to chop my
hands off with an axe, I'm going to move this to the 2.2-RELENG branch
shortly.
of BIND, we need to tweak some things to that gethostanswer() knows
whether or not we're dealing with an IPv4 or IPv6 address. (This'll
teach me to use a 2.1.0 system for NIS development -- but it's so nice
and stable I just can't being myself to upgrade it. :)
- A major 11th hour, last second, untested commit!
Build some infrastructure to clean up the compat lib distributions, and
also allow them to be installed from the source tree rather than having
to to and get the tarballs from freefall or a CD. Some tweaks to
/etc/make.conf are in the pipeline to enable it.
This came about because it became apparent that we'd have to change the
compat21.tgz tarball to fix the NIS problem with 2.1.x binaries. Since
it's tar..gz.uu, doing this would have caused a huge repository change
and we may as well try and fix it once and for all. Now, adding/removing
libraries should have MUCH less repository impact.

I think this should be in 2.2.

Passing observation: The fixes that pst put in on 1996/09/22 then backed out
look like they should be put in again. If sysinstall is depending on bugs,
then it should be fixed.
_yp_dobind() checks to see if a fork() happens (by checking PIDs) and
invalidates all bindings if it finds itself in a newly created child
process. (This avoids sharing RPC client handles and socket descriptors
with the parent, which would be bad.) Unfortunately, it summarily
calls clnt_destroy() on the handles, which may result in the destruction
of a descriptor that isn't really a socket.
This is fixed by replacing the explicit call to clnt_destroy() with a
call to _yp_unbind(), which deals with potentially hosed socket descriptors
an a safe manner.
This is basically a one-liner. Once I confirm that it fixes Christoph's
problem, I'd like permission to put it in the 2.2-RELENG branch.
Vulnerable: all programs that use setlocale(LC_COLLATE),
setlocale(LC_CTYPE), or setlocale(LC_ALL). The only setuid/setgid
binary i've found for this is w(1).
Should go into 2.2.
I've added an installation from optical disk drive facility.
This enables FreeBSD to be installed from an optical disk, which
may be formatted in "super floppy" style or sliced into MSDOS-FS
and UFS partitions.
Note: ncr.c should be reviewed by Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org>
and cd.c by Joerg Wunsch <joerg@freebsd.org> before bringing this
into 2.2.
