having a hosts.lpd(5) manpage and some references to it from
within lpd(8) might help here. Close PR docs/1277

operations don't work with FICTITIOUS pages.) Also, close a window
between PG_MANAGED and pmap_enter that can mess up the accounting of
the managed flag. This problem could likely cause a hold_count error
for page table pages.
close some windows that are opened up by page table allocations. The
prefaulting code no longer uses hold counts, but now uses the busy
flag for synchronization.
Now that we preserve RPC handles instead of rebuilding them each time
a ypcln function is called, we have to be careful about keeping our sockets
in a sane state. It's possible that the caller may call a ypclnt
function, and then decide to close all its file descriptors. This would
also close the socket descriptor held by the yplib code. Worse, it
could re-open the same descriptor number for its own use. If it then calls
another ypclnt function, the subsequent RPC will fail because the socket
will either be gone or replaced with Something Completely Different. The
yplib code will recover by rebinding, but it doing so it may wreck the
descriptor which now belongs to the caller.
To fix this, _yp_dobind() needs to label the descriptor somehow so
that it can test it later to make sure it hasn't been altered between
ypclnt calls. It does this by binding the socket, thus associating a port
number with it. It then saves this port number in the dom_local_port member
of the dom_binding structure for the given domain. When _yp_dobind() is
called again (which it is at the start of each ypclnt function), it checks
to see if the domain is already bound, and if it is, it does a getsockname()
on the socket and compares the port number to the one it saved. If the
getsockname() fails, or the port number doesn't match, it abandons the
socket and sets up a new client handle.
This still incurs some syscall overhead, which is what I was trying to
avoid, but it's still not as bad as before.
functions are implimented as wrappers around getservent(), which means it's
up to getservent() to do all the work. The NIS support in getservent()
only allows it to scan through the services.byname map one entry at a
time until it finds the requested service name/port. This can be painfully
slow due to the overhead involved (lots and lots of successive RPCs).
To fix this, we allow getservbyname() and getservbyport() to signal
getservent() that if NIS is turned on (there's a '+' in /etc/services),
the usual yp_first()/yp_next() linear search should be abandoned and
yp_match() used instead. This causes getservent() to immediately
locate the requested entry instead of wasting time groping through the
whole map.
The downside is that this trick is accomplished by exporting a couple of
pointers from getservent.c which getservbyname.c and getservbyport.c can
preset in order to tell getservent() what to do. If all three functions
were in the same source module, then the extra cruft could be delcared
static to avoid poluting the global symbol space. Maybe they should be
combined anyway. For now I've settled on prepending lots of underscores.
Fix some comments to reflect reality (in some cases I made changes
to code but not to the comments).
Change some instances of 'inline' to '__inline' to pacify
gcc -ansi -pedantic.
Use rcsid strings more consistently.
Make 'oldaddr' static in yp_access().
Use strcpy()/strcat() in yp_open_db_cache() instead of snprintf().
(Seems to be a little faster this way.)

this outb got lost.
Turn ATN on ourselves as appropriate during a parity error instead of relying
on ENAUTOATNP.
Don't use a loop in RESTART_SEQUENCER. Its not necessary.
privileged port within a single bind(), rather than looping through
attempts to bind over and over again over progressively lower ports.
This should speed up rlogin/rsh etc, and will probably cure some of the
strange rlogin hangs that have been reported in the past where rresvport()
managed to bind() to a port address that it shouldn't have.

The nesting rules of macros are different, which required some changes.
Use __CONCAT(x,y) instead of /**/.
Redo some comments to use /* */ rather than "# comment" because the ansi
cpp cares about those, and also cares about quote matching.

This means that any cpp fatal errors will now be detected, as well as
running *.s files through an ansi cpp instead of a traditional cpp.

to be allocated at boot time. This is an expensive option, as they
consume physical ram and are not pageable etc. In certain situations,
this kind of option is quite useful, especially for news servers that
access a large number of directories at random and torture the name cache.
Defining 5000 or 10000 extra vnodes should cut down the amount of vnode
recycling somewhat, which should allow better name and directory caching
etc.
This is a "your mileage may vary" option, with no real indication of
what works best for your machine except trial and error. Too many will
cost you ram that you could otherwise use for disk buffers etc.
This is based on something John Dyson mentioned to me a while ago.
on the baud rate, dont get upset if it's been hung up by setting B0.
Instead, sleep for a short time, as the host controller takes a while
to go through the state changes.
