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.
both call getservent() to do most of the work, so we only need to modify
this file to take care of everybody).
Note that there is only one NIS services map (services.byname) even
though there are getservbyname() and getservbyport() library functions.

Minor cleanup, mostly unused vars and missing #includes.
Limit the number of quad functions we pull in for 'i386'.
I still belive the quad stuff should go back into gcc.
Add compile-time warnings about crypt functions.
- Fix buffer overflow problem once and for all: do away with the buffer
copies to 'user' prior to calling _scancaches() and just pass a pointer
to the buffer returned by yp_match()/yp_first()/yp_next()/whatever.
(We turn the first ':' to a NUL first so strcmp() works, then change it
back later. Submitted by Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> and
tweaked slightly by me.
- Give _pw_breakout_yp() the 'more elegant solution' I promised way back when.
Eliminate several copies to static buffers and replace them with just
one copy. (The buffer returned by the NIS functions is at most
YPMAXRECORD bytes long, so we should only need one static buffer of
the same length (plus 2 for paranoia's sake).)
- Also in _pw_breakout_yp(): always set pw.pw_passwd to the username
obtained via NIS regardless of what pw_fields says: usernames cannot
be overridden so we have no choice but to use the name returned by
NIS.
- _Again_ in _pw_breakout_yp(): before doing anything else, check that
the first character of the NIS-returned buffer is not a '+' or '-'.
If it is, drop the entry. (#define EXTRA_PARANOIA 1 :)
- Probe for the master.passwd.* maps once during __initdb() instead
of doing it each time _getyppass() or _nextyppass() is called.
- Don't copy the NIS data buffers to static memory in _getyppass()
and _nextyppass(): this is done in _pw_breakout_yp() now.
- Test against phkmalloc and phkmalloc/2 (TNG!) to make sure we're
free()ing the yp buffers sanely.
- Put _havemaster(), _getyppass() and nextyppass() prototypes under
#ifdef YP. (Somehow they ended up on the wrong side of the #endif.)
- Remove unused variable ___yp_only.
- In some cases, we don't properly resolve _all_ possible group memberships.
If a user is a member of both local and NIS groups, we sometimes lose some
of the membership info from NIS. (Reported by: Thorsten Kukuk
<kukuk@uni-paderborn.de>)
- Make NIS +groupname overrides actually work the way the SunOS group(5)
man page says they should (make them work for all cases: getgrent(),
getgrnam() and getgrgid()).
- When not compiled with -DYP, grscan() should ignore entries that
begin with a '+'. When compiled _with_ -DYP, grscan() should ignore
+groupname entries that don't refer to real NIS groups.
- Remove redundant redeclaration of fgets(), strsep() and index() inside
grscan(). We already #include all the right header files for these.
Note: -groupname exclusion as specified in the Sun documentation still
isn't supported. This'll be a 2.2 addition. Right now I just want this
stuff to work.
What was happening, is if syslogd was not running, syslog() would do
a strcat("\r\n") on a non-null-terminated buffer, and write it to the console.
This meant that sometimes extra characters could be written to the console
during boot, depending on the stack contents.
This totally avoids the potential problem by using writev() like the rest
of the does, and avoid modifying the buffer after the trouble we've gone to
to carefully protect it.
This is actually a trivial fix, in spite of the long commit message.. :-)
It only appeared during boot and shutdown with syslogd stopped.

Performance is comparable to gnumalloc if you have sufficient RAM, and
it screams around it if you don't.
Compiled with "EXTRA_SANITY" until further notice.

control hooks.
It is similar to an unrolled multi-part snprintf(), in that a "FILE *" is
attached to a string buffer. There is also an optimisation for the case
where the syslog format string does not contain %m, which should improve
performance of "informational" logging, like from ftpd.
the group map after encountering a badly formatted entry.
getpwent.c: same as above for _nextyppass(), and also turn a couple of
sprintf()s into snprintf()s to avoid potential buffer overruns. (The
other day I nearly went mad because of a username in my NIS database
that's actually 9 characters long instead of 8. Stuffing a 9-character
username into an 8-character buffer can do some strange things.)
(This reminds me: I hope somebody's planning to fix the buffer overrun
security hole in syslog(3) before 2.1 ships.)
on, which is fine, except that _yp_dobind() is called before we check
the cache. The means we can return from the cache check (if we have
a hit) without calling _yp_unbind().
We should do the cache check first and _then_ drop into the section
that binds the server and does the yp_match query.
seperate function to avoid duplication. Also fix getpwent() a
small bit to properly handle the case where the magic NIS '+'
entry appears before the end of the password file.
getgrent.c: be a little more SunOS-ish. Make it look like the NIS
group map is 'inserted' at the the point(s) where the magic NIS '+'
entry/entries appear.
getgrent: fix a file descriptor leak: remember to close the netgroup
file after we determine that we're using NIS-only innetgr() lookups.
Since Bruce changed the #include <res_config.h> to #include "res_config.h"
this is no longer needed, and only makes the 'make' more verbose for
no real reason.
