Bill Paul 8256fad9b7 Import new rpc.yppasswdd. (Note: accompanying changes to passwd(1) and
chpass(1) are on the way too.) This version supports all the features
of the old one and adds several new ones:

- Supports real multi-domain operation (optional, can be turned
  on with a command-line flag). This means you can actually have
  several different domains all served from one NIS server and
  allow users in any of the supported domains to change their passwords.
  The old yppasswdd only allowed changing passwords in the domain
  that was set as the system default domain name on the NIS master
  server. The new one can change passwords in any domain by trying
  to match the user information passed to it against all the passwd
  maps it can find. This is something of a hack, but the yppasswd.x
  protocol definiton does not allow for a domain to be passwd as an
  argument to rpc.yppasswdd, so the server has no choice but to
  grope around for a likely match. Since this method can fail if
  the same user exists in two domains, this feature is off by default.
  If the feature is turned on and the server becomes confused by
  duplicate entries, it will abort the update.

- Does not require NIS client services to be available. NIS servers do
  _NOT_ necessarily have to be configured as NIS clients in order to
  function: the ypserv, ypxfr and yppush programs I've written recently
  will operate fine even if the system domain name isn't set, ypbind isn't
  running and there are no magic '+' entries in any of the /etc files.
  Now rpc.yppasswdd is the same way. The old yppasswdd would not work
  like this because it depended on getpwent(3) and friends to look up
  users: this will obviously only work if the system where yppasswdd is
  running is configured as an NIS client. The new rpc.yppasswdd doesn't
  use getpwent(3) at all: instead it searches through the master.passwd
  map databases directly. This also makes it easier for it to handle
  multiple domains.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master server to change any user's
  password without requiring password authentication. rpc.yppasswdd
  creates a UNIX domain socket (/var/run/ypsock) which it monitors
  using the same svc_run() loop used to handle incoming RPC requests.
  It also clears all the permission bits for /var/run/ypsock; since
  this socket is owned by root, this prevents anyone except root from
  successfully connect()ing to it. (Using a UNIX domain socket also
  prevents IP spoofing attacks.) By building code into passwd(1) and
  chpass(1) to take advantage of this 'trusted' channel, the superuser
  can use them to send private requests to rpc.yppasswdd.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master to use chpass(1) to update _all_
  of a user's master.passwd information. The UNIX domain access point
  accepts a full master.passwd style structure (along with a domain
  name and other information), which allows the superuser to update all
  of a user's master.passwd information in the NIS master.passwd maps.
  Normal users on NIS clients are still only allowed to change their full
  name and shell information with chpass.

- Allows the superuser on the NIS master to _add_ records to the NIS
  master.passwd maps using chpass(1). This feature is also switchable
  with a command-line flag and is off by default.
