to POSIX.2. In particular:
- don't retry for ETXTBSY. This matches what sh(1) does. The retry code
was broken anyway. It only slept for several seconds for the first few
retries. Then it retried without sleeping.
- don't abort the search for errors related to the path prefix, in
particular for ENAMETOOLONG, ENOTDIR, ELOOP. This fixes PR1487. sh(1)
gets this wrong in the opposite direction by never aborting the search.
- don't confuse EACCES for errors related to the path prefix with EACCES
for errors related to the file. sh(1) gets this wrong.
- don't return a stale errno when the search terminates normally without
finding anything. The errno for the last unsuccessful execve() was
usually returned. This gave too much precedence to pathologies in the
last component of $PATH. This bug is irrelevant for sh(1).
The implementation still uses the optimization/race-inhibitor of trying
to execve() things first. POSIX.2 seems to require looking at file
permissions using stat(). We now use stat() after execve() if execve()
fails with an ambiguous error. Trying execve() first may actually be a
pessimization, since failing execve()s are fundamentally a little slower
than stat(), and are significantly slower when a file is found but has
unsuitable permissions or points to an unsuitable interpreter.

'slow' lookup if we get a YPERR_MAP (no such map in server's domain) error
instead of failing over on any error. In the latter case, if the 'fast'
search fails legitimately (i.e. the user or host really isn't a member
of the specified netgroup) then we end up doing the 'slow' search and
failing all over again. The result is still correct, but cycles are
consumed for no good reason.
Also removed the #ifdef CHARITABLE since the compat kludge is no longer
optional.
that if searching through the special netgroup.byhost or netgroup.byuser
maps didn't work, we would roll over to the 'slow' method of grovelling
though the netgroup map and working out the dependencies on the fly.
But I left this option hidden inside an #ifdef CHARITABLE since I
didn't think I'd ever need it.
Well, the Sun rpc.nisd NIS+ server in YP compat mode doesn't support
the .byhost and .byuser reverse maps, so the failover is necessary
in order to be compatible. *sigh*
This closes PR #3891, and should be merged into RELENG_2_2.
plain 0 should be used. This happens to work because we #define
NULL to 0, but is stylistically wrong and can cause problems
for people trying to port bits of code to other environments.

Again, this is off by default for the moment. This probably should be
split into seperate files (like some of our other libc files that could
do with some splitting).

the OpenBSD tree. Make minor KNF changes to new code (which is in the

These patches should go into 2.2.5 before the ship if they don't
