it before before trying to establish a binding. If /var/run/ypbind.lock doesn't exist, or if it exists and isn't locked, then ypbind isn't running, which means NIS is either turned off or hosed. - Have _yp_check() call yp_unbind() after it sucessfully calls yp_bind() to make sure it frees resources correctly. (I don't think there's really a memory leak here, but it seems somehow wrong to call yp_bind() without making a corresponding call to yp_unbind() afterwards.) This makes the NIS code behave a little better in cases where libc makes calls to NIS, but it isn't running correctly (i.e. there's no ypbind). This cleans up some strange libc behavior that manifests itself if you have the system domain name set, but aren't actually running NIS. In this event, the getrpcent(3) code could try to call into NIS and cause several inexplicable "clnttcp_create error: RPC program not registered" messages to appear. This happens because _yp_check() checks if the system domain name is set and, if it is, proceeds to call yp_bind() to attempt to establish a binding. Since there is no binding file (remember: ypbind isn't running, so /var/yp/binding will be empty), _yp_dobind() will attempt to contact ypbind to prod it into binding the domain. And because ypbind isn't running, the code generates the 'clnttcp_create' error. Ultimately the _yp_check() fails and the getrpcent(3) code rolls over to the /etc/rpc file, but the error messages are annoying, and the code should be smart enough to forgo the binding attempt when NIS is turned off. |

\ \___ / |
Welcome to the ALPHA release of FreeBSD 2.0 - the /- _ `-/ '
first public snapshot of our new 4.4BSD Lite based (/\/ \ \ /\
operating system environment. This install proce- / / | ` \
dure is also at the ALPHA stage, and contains only O O ) / |
the minimum functionality required by an `-^--'`< '
*EXPERIENCED* person to install the system. (_.) _ ) /
It is our hope, of course, that the feedback `.___/` /
provided from this snapshot will `-----' /
greatly assist us in making the release <----. __ / __ \
of 2.0 much more user friendly. Your <----|====O)))==) \) /====

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation! Thanks!
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.
For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!
Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!
Comments should be sent to:
hackers@FreeBSD.org
Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:
bugs@FreeBSD.org
And general questions to:
questions@FreeBSD.org
Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).
Thanks!
