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.

TIRPCSRC 2.3 29 Aug 1994
|
|
|
|
This distribution contains SunSoft's implementation of transport-independent
|
|
RPC (TI-RPC), External Data Representation (XDR), and various utilities and
|
|
documentation. These libraries and programs form the base of Open Network
|
|
Computing (ONC), and are derived directly from the Solaris 2.3 source.
|
|
|
|
Previous releases of RPC Source based on SunOS 4.x were ported to 4.2BSD and
|
|
used Sockets as the transport interface. These versions were
|
|
transport-specific RPC (TS-RPC).
|
|
|
|
TI-RPC is an enhanced version of TS-RPC that requires the UNIX System V
|
|
Transport Layer Interface (TLI) or an equivalent X/Open Transport Interface
|
|
(XTI). TI-RPC is on-the-wire compatible with the TS-RPC, which is supported
|
|
by almost 70 vendors on all major operating systems. TS-RPC source code
|
|
(RPCSRC 4.0) remains available from several internet sites.
|
|
|
|
This release is a native source release, that is, it is compatible for
|
|
building on Solaris 2.3. This release was built on Solaris 2.3 using SunPro
|
|
SPARCompiler 2.0.1.
|
|
|
|
Solaris 2.3 is based on System V, Release 4 (SVR4), and while this release
|
|
should be mostly compatible with other SVR4 systems, some Solaris facilities
|
|
that are assumed may not be available. In particular, this release uses the
|
|
Makefile format supported by SparcCompiler 2.0.1. Second, the Secure RPC
|
|
routines use the Solaris Name Service Switch to access public-key credential
|
|
databases. This code will need to be ported if your system does not support
|
|
the Name Service Switch. Finally, this release uses the synchronization
|
|
interfaces of UI Threads to make certain interfaces thread-safe. These
|
|
interfaces are found in libthread in Solaris 2.3 and later.
|
|
|
|
Applications linked with this release's librpc must link with the United
|
|
States domestic version of libcrypt in order to resolve the cbc_crypt() and
|
|
ecb_crypt() functions. These routines are used with Secure RPC however all
|
|
RPC programs that link with this release's librpc will need to link with the
|
|
domestic libcrypt. Note that the Solaris 2.3 Encryption Kit is only available
|
|
within the United States. (PLEASE NOTE: The RPC implementation found in
|
|
Solaris 2.3's libnsl does *not* have this requirement; linking with libcrypt
|
|
is only a requirement for the TIRPCSRC 2.3 version of librpc.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOCUMENTATION NOTE
|
|
|
|
The documentation found in the doc directory are derived from the Solaris 2.3
|
|
Network Interfaces Programming Guide. A small number of compile examples are
|
|
given, and these use libnsl to link in the RPC library. This release builds
|
|
the RPC library as librpc. To use this release's librpc, use the link command
|
|
"-lrpc -lnsl -lcrypt". This links the application with TIRPCSRC 2.3's librpc
|
|
for RPC routines, Solaris's libnsl for other networking functions, and
|
|
libcrypt for the cbc_crypt() and ecb_crypt functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHY IS THIS RELEASE BEING DONE?
|
|
|
|
This release is being distributed to make the Sun implementation of the ONC
|
|
technologies available for reference and porting to non-Solaris platforms.
|
|
The current release is a native source distribution, and provides services
|
|
that are already available on Solaris 2.3 (such as the RPC headers, the RPC
|
|
library in libnsl, rpcbind, rpcinfo, etc.). It is not our intention to
|
|
replace these services. See the DISCLAIMER for further information about the
|
|
legal status of this release.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE: TIRPCSRC 2.3
|
|
|
|
The previous release was TIRPCSRC 2.0.
|
|
|
|
1. This release is based on Solaris 2.3. The previous release was
|
|
based on Solaris 2.0. This release contains a siginificant number of
|
|
bug fixes and other enhancements over TIRPCSRC 2.0.
|
|
|
|
2. The RPC library is thread safe for all client-side interfaces
|
|
(clnt_create, clnt_call, etc.). The server-side interfaces
|
|
(svc_create, svc_run, etc.) are not thread safe in this release. The
|
|
server-side interfaces will be made thread safe in the next release of
|
|
TIRPCSRC. Please see the manual pages for details about which
|
|
interfaces are thread safe.
|
|
|
|
3. As part of the work to make the RPC library thread-safe, rpcgen has
|
|
been enhanced to generate thread-safe RPC stubs (the -M option). Note
|
|
that this modifies the call-signature for the stub functions; the
|
|
procedure calling the RPC stub must now pass to the stub a pointer to
|
|
an allocated structure where results will be placed by the stub. See
|
|
the rpcgen manual page and the rpcgen Programming Guide for details.
|
|
|
|
4. The Remote Asynchronous Calls (RAC) library is now included. RAC was
|
|
first introduced in TIRPCSRC 1.0, and was bundled with librpc. It is
|
|
now a separate library. The asynchronous call model that RAC provides
|
|
can be achieved by using threads for making client-side RPC calls.
|
|
The ONC Technology group recommends using threads (where possible) to
|
|
achieve asynchrony rather than RAC. See the rpc_rac(3n) manual page
|
|
for details.

BUILD INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
|
|
Prior to building the release, you must define the SRC environment variable
|
|
to be the path to the top-level Makefile. For example, if /usr/src/tirpcsrc
|
|
is where to top-level Makefile is located, execute this command prior to
|
|
building the release:
|
|
|
|
setenv SRC /usr/src/tirpcsrc (csh)
|
|
or
|
|
SRC=/usr/src/tirpcsrc; export SRC (sh)
|
|
|
|
The sources in the lib directory depend on header files installed from head
|
|
and uts/common/rpc, and the programs in the cmd directory depend on libraries
|
|
from lib. Therefore, you should do a "make install" to build the release.
|
|
|
|
The top-level Makefile builds the release. The "ROOT" macro defines where the
|
|
headers and libraries are installed. The default for ROOT is "/proto". You
|
|
may change this by either modifiying Makefile.master, or issuing the build
|
|
command with a new definition for ROOT:
|
|
|
|
make install ROOT=/opt/onc
|
|
|
|
You will of course need write privileges for the destination directory.
|
|
The headers, libraries and executables will be built and installed under the
|
|
ROOT.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The demonstration services in the demo directory are not built by the
|
|
top-level "make install" command. To build these, cd to the cmd/demo
|
|
directory and enter "make". The four services will be built.
|
|
RPCGEN MUST BE INSTALLED in a path that make can find. To run the
|
|
services, rpcbind must be running, then invoke the service
|
|
(you probably will want to put it in the background). rpcinfo can be
|
|
used to check that the service succeeded in getting registered with
|
|
rpcbind, and to ping the service (see rpcinfo's man page). You can
|
|
then use the corresponding client program to exercise the service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING ONC APPLICATIONS
|
|
|
|
See the Makefiles in the demonstration services for examples of building
|
|
ONC applications with this release. The $(ROOT)/usr/include directory
|
|
must be included in the compiler header file search path (-I), and the
|
|
$(ROOT)/usr/lib directory must be included in the linker library file search
|
|
path (-L). Also, to run executables built dynamically, the shared library
|
|
search path (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) must also include $(ROOT)/usr/lib. In addition
|
|
to linking in this release's librpc (via -lrpc), you must also link with
|
|
Solaris's libnsl (-lnsl) and the US domestic version of libcrypt (-lcrypt).
