associated changes that had to happen to make this possible as well as
bugs fixed along the way.
Bring in required TLI library routines to support this.
Since we don't support TLI we've essentially copied what NetBSD
has done, adding a thin layer to emulate direct the TLI calls
into BSD socket calls.
This is mostly from Sun's tirpc release that was made in 1994,
however some fixes were backported from the 1999 release (supposedly
only made available after this porting effort was underway).
The submitter has agreed to continue on and bring us up to the
1999 release.
Several key features are introduced with this update:
Client calls are thread safe. (1999 code has server side thread
safe)
Updated, a more modern interface.
Many userland updates were done to bring the code up to par with
the recent RPC API.
There is an update to the pthreads library, a function
pthread_main_np() was added to emulate a function of Sun's threads
library.
While we're at it, bring in NetBSD's lockd, it's been far too
long of a wait.
New rpcbind(8) replaces portmap(8) (supporting communication over
an authenticated Unix-domain socket, and by default only allowing
set and unset requests over that channel). It's much more secure
than the old portmapper.
Umount(8), mountd(8), mount_nfs(8), nfsd(8) have also been upgraded
to support TI-RPC and to support IPV6.
Umount(8) is also fixed to unmount pathnames longer than 80 chars,
which are currently truncated by the Kernel statfs structure.

Secure RPC implemented by: wpaul
adding (weak definitions to) stubs for some of the pthread
functions. If the threads library is linked in, the real
pthread functions will pulled in.
Use the following convention for system calls wrapped by the
threads library:
__sys_foo - actual system call
_foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
foo - weak definition to __sys_foo
Change all libc uses of system calls wrapped by the threads
library from foo to _foo. In order to define the prototypes
for _foo(), we introduce namespace.h and un-namespace.h
(suggested by bde). All files that need to reference these
system calls, should include namespace.h before any standard
includes, then include un-namespace.h after the standard
includes and before any local includes. <db.h> is an exception
and shouldn't be included in between namespace.h and
un-namespace.h namespace.h will define foo to _foo, and
un-namespace.h will undefine foo.
Try to eliminate some of the recursive calls to MT-safe
functions in libc/stdio in preparation for adding a mutex
to FILE. We have recursive mutexes, but would like to avoid
using them if possible.
Remove uneeded includes of <errno.h> from a few files.
Add $FreeBSD$ to a few files in order to pass commitprep.

This concludes tonight's entertainment. Once I'm sure I haven't destroyed
the world with all these changes, I'll import the utilities. Everything
should continue to work as before. If it doesn't let me know.
Special thanks to Mark Murray for running a test 'make world' for me to
shake out the bugs, which, hopefully, I have fixed.
(And there was much rejoicing.)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Restore the clamp on the return value from rpc_dtablesize().. Some programs
(eg: ypserv) use this as an indication of how large svc_fdset is in their
hand-rolled svc_run() loops. The svc_fdset table is maintained by the
rpc library explicitly for compatability with such programs. (It uses
a different variable-sized bitmap itself internally)
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.
select() returns EINVAL if you try to feed it a value of FD_SETSIZE greater
that 256. You can apparently adjust this by specifying a larger value of
FD_SETSIZE when configuring your kernel. However, if you set the maximum
number of open file descriptors per process to some value greater than
the FD_SETSIZE value that select() expects, many selects() within the RPC
library code will be botched because _rpc_dtablesize() will return
invalid numbers. This is to say that it will return the upper descriptor
table size limit which can be much higher than 256. Unless select() is
prepared to expect this 'unusually' high value, it will fail. (A good
example of this can be seen with NIS enabled: if you type 'unlimit' at
the shell prompt and then run any command that does NIS calls, you'll
be bombarded with errors from clnttcp_create().)
A temporary fix for this is to clamp the value returned by _rpc_dtablesize()
at FD_SETSIZE (as defined in <sys/types.h> (256)). I suppose the Right
Thing would be to provide some mechanism for select() to dynamically
adjust itself to handle FD_SETSIZE values larger than 256, but it's a
bit late in the game for that. Hopefully 256 file descriptors will be enough
to keep RPC happy for now.
