- Moved to a more client-driven model. We aggressively attempt to keep
the default domain bound (as before) but we give up on non-default
domains if we lose contact with a server and fail to get a response
after one round of broadcasting. This helps drastically reduce the
amount of network bandwitdh that ypbind consumes: if a client references
the secondary domain at some later point, this will prod ypbind into
establishing a new binding anyway, so continuously broadcasting without
need is pointless.
Note that we still actively seek out a binding for our default domain
even if no client program has queried us yet. I'm not exactly sure if
this matches SunOS's behavior or not, but I decided to do it this way
since we can get into all sorts of trouble if our default domain comes
unbound. Even so, we're still much quieter than we used to be.
- Removed a bunch of no-longer pertinent comments and a couple of
chunks of #ifdef 0'ed code that no longer fit in to the new layout.
- Theo deRaadt must have become frustrated with the callback mechanism
in clnt_broadcast(), because he shamelessly stole the clnt_broadcast()
code right out of the RPC library and hacked it up to suit his needs.
(Comments and all! :)
I can understand why: clnt_broadcast() blocks while awaiting replies.
Changing this behavior requires surgery. However, you can work around
this: fork the broadcast into a child process and relay the results
back to the parent via a pipe. (Careful obervation has shown that the
SunOS ypbind forks children for broadcasting too, though I can only
guess what sort of interprocess communication it uses. pipe() seems to
do the job well enough.)
This may seem like the long way around, but it's not really that
hard to implement, and I'd prefer to use documented RPC library functions
wherever possible. We're careful to limit the number of simultaneous
broadcasters to avoid swamping the system (the current limit is 5).
Each clnt_broadcast() call only sends out a small number of packets
at increasing intervals. We're also careful not to spawn more than one
bradcaster for a given domain.
- Used clntudp_bufcreate() and clnt_call() to implement a ping()
function for directly querying a particular server so that we can
check if it's still alive. This lets me completely remove the old
bradcasting code and use actual RPC library calls instead, at the
cost of more than a few handfulls of torn-out hair. (Make no mistake
folks: I *HATE* RPC.) Currently, the ping interval is one minute.
- Fixed another potential 'nfds too big for select()' bug: use
_rpc_dtablesize() instead of getdtablesize().
- Quieted gcc -Wall a bit.
- Probably a bunch of other stuff that I've forgotten.
ypbind.8:
- Updated man page to reflect modifications.
ypwhich.c:
- Small mind-o fix from last time: decode error results from
ypbind correctly (*groan*)
yplib.c:
- same as above
- Change behavior of _yp_dobind() a little: if we get back a 'Domain
not bound' error for a given domain, retry a few times before giving
up and passing the error back to the caller. We have to sleep for a
few seconds between tries since the 'Domain not bound' error comes
back immediately (by repeatedly looping, we end up pounding on ypbind).
We retry at most 20 times at 5 second intervals. This gives us a full
minute to get a response. This seems to deviate a bit from SunOS
behavior -- it appears to wait forever -- but I don't like the idea
of perpetually hanging inside a library call.
Note that this should fix the problems some people have with bindings
not being established fast enough at boot time; sometimes amd is started
in /etc/rc after ypbind has run but before it gets a binding set up. The
automounter gets annoyed at this and tends to exit. By pausing ther YP
calls until a binding is ready, we avoid this situation.
- Another _yp_dobind() change: if we determine that our binding files
are unlocked or nonexistent, jump directly to code that pokes ypbind
into restablishing the binding. Again, if it fails, we'll time out
eventually and return.

2. Add a "feature" to pkg_create (OK, OK, it's a miserable hack!) to get

ypbind.c: if a client program asks ypbind for the name of the server
for a particular domain, and there isn't a binding for that domain
available yet, ypbind needs to supply a status value along with its
failure message. Set yprespbody.ypbind_error before returning from
a ypbindproc_domain request.
yplib.c: properly handle the error status messages ypbind now has the
ability to send us. Add a ypbinderr_string() function to decode the
error values.

The first problem I found was that descriptor 0 was being closed.
This happens because the modem variable is set to 0 to indicate
that it is not valid but there are not enough tests for the modem
variable being 0. You can see where I have done this in the patch.
Code in OpenModem() dups the modem descriptor if it is < 3. Once
this happened the modem was always open and an incomming call would
have getty and ppp reading the modem.
Descriptor 1 is closed when the quit command was executed from a
telnet connection. The next modem open returns descriptor 1
and this gets duped leaving the modem always open again.
The modem was not being closed when the connection dropped or was
closed from the other end. The UUCP lock was also not removed if
the modem could not be opened.

one ypbind broadcast can yield several responses. This can lead to
some confusion: the syslog message from ypbind will indicate a rebinding
to the first server that responds, but we may subsequently change our
binding to another server when the other responses arrive. This results
in ypbind reporting 'server OK' to one address and ypwhich reporting a
binding to another.
The behavior of the rpc_received() function has been changed to prevent
this: subsequent responses received after a binding has already been
established are ignored. Rebinding gratuitously each time we get a
new response is silly anyway.
Also backed out the non-fix I made in my last ypbind commit. (Pass
me the extra large conical hat, please.)
(At some point I'm going to seriously re-work ypbind and the _yp_dobind()
library function to bring them in line with SunOS's documented behavior:
binding requests are supposed to be 'client-driven.' The _yp_dobind()
function should be responsible for retrying connections in response to
calls from client programs rather than having ypbind broadcasting
continously until a server responds. The current setup works okay in
normal operation, but we broadcast far too often than we should.)

2. pkg_add will honor dependencies and chain-load them automatically if
it finds the required package(s) in the same directory as the package

1. pkg_add looks in one place (where you were when you loaded the primary
pkg) for depended packages. If you can come up with a search path scheme
that's not a total hack - be my guest!
2. Recursive dependency expansion can result in the name of a dep being
listed more than once. This doesn't bother pkg_add since it checks
for package existance with pkg_info and will skip already-loaded packages.

table; arptab.c is really a hacked up version of arp.c that only
supports adding temporary entries. (This stuff is nasty -- I wish I
knew what was so wrong with SIOCSARP/SIOCGARP/etc... that made the
BSD developers decide to take it out.) The idea here is that the
client issuing the rarp is expected to be in the middle of booting
and would therefore be unable to answer arp queries from other machines
on the wire. Having rarpd stuff a temporary entry for the booting
host into the local arp table helps keep arp requests from going unanswered.
Also added ether_print() and ether_ntoa() to the ether_addr.c module.

"Yes Virginia, there is a rarpd."
(Before anyone asks, this *not* the rarpd from NetBSD. It did come from
the same place as theirs, however.)
This is a port of the rarpd program included with the tcpdump-2.0
source code (which I finally unearthed after scrounging around
some of the darker corners of the Internet). It's as close to the
original as I could keep it except for the following changes:
- The original program was based on an older version of the Berkeley
Packet Filter which used different filter programming instructions.
Fortunately, an updated RARP packet filter is available right in the
BPF man page so this was easy to fix.
- The old code didn't know how to deal with variable length addresses
in ifreq buffers. This has been fixed.
- Some byte order weirdness had to be fixed. The sanity checks in
rarp_check() needed some htons()es, and the rarp_reply() function
needed to properly set the ether_type field in the ethernet header
to ETHERTYPE_REVARP before transmitting the packet, otherwise
the bytes in ether_type would wind up reversed. It is important to note
that using htons(ETHERTYPE_REVARP) will not work. This is odd, because
the NetBSD rarpd uses htons(ETHERTYPE_REVARP). (Praise be to tcpdump:
I would never have been able to track this silliness down without it.)
- The update_arptab() function has been castrated. It depends on
SIOCSARP which has been deprecated in 4.4BSD. The NetBSD people
don't seem to be using this function either. It wouldn't be too
hard to replace this with equivalent code from arp.c, but it
might not be necessary.
- I put together an ether_ntohost() support function that allows
both local (/etc/ethers) and NIS lookups. This stuff should go
in libc at some point, but nothing else seems to need it for now,
so it can wait a while.
As you may have guessed, you need to have the Berkeley Packet Filter in
your kernel in order to use this program. The good news is that together
with the recently added bootparamd, you can use finally use a FreeBSD
box to boot Sun boxes over the network. (This was my whole motivation
for getting this stuff to work: I have this one subnet that has a whole
bunch of Sun3 X-terminals on it with only two Sun4 workstations, both
of which are locked in peoples' offices. If those two machines crash
(and they do every so often) then none of the X-terms will boot. Now I
can use a spare PC that I have as a boot server. :)

Two changes need to be made to allow 'config kernel swap generic' to
work properly without requiring any compile-time flags:
/usr/src/usr.sbin/config/mkswapconf.c: we need to define a dummy stub
for the setconf() function to replace the one in swapgeneric.c that
isn't available in non-generic configurations.
/usr/src/sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c: the -a boot flag causes setroot()
to be skipped and lets setconf() prompt the user for a root device.
If you skip setroot() in a non-generic kernel, you could get severely
hosed. To avoid this, we silently ignore the -a flag if rootdev != NODEV.
(rootdev is always initialized to NODEV in swapgeneric.c, so if
we find that rootdev is something other than NODEV, we know we're
not using a generic configuration.)

The existing ypbind exhibits some truly anti-social behavior. After
initially establishing a binding with an NIS server, the following events
take place:
- ypbind waits for 60 seconds before trying to broadcast a ping again
- after the 60 seconds expires, ypbind sends out broadcasts every 5 seconds
come hell or high water.
These broadcasts travel far and wide, even to NIS servers in other domains
which dutifully log the packets even though they don't respond to them.
This leads to lots of unnecessary traffic and bloated log files.
This behavior has been fixed/changed. Here's what happens now:
- We still broadcast every 5 seconds at startup, just like before.
- Once bound, we send out packets once every 60 seconds to the server
we're bound to AND NO ONE ELSE.
- If we fail to receive a reply from our server within FAIL_THRESHOLD
seconds, we assume our server has croaked and go back to broadcasting
everywhere every 5 seconds again until somebody answers. FAIL_THRESHOLD
is currently set to 20 seconds.
Other fixes/improvements:
- ypbind now logs 'server not responding' and 'server OK' messages where
appropriate.

Somebody like Joerg can reality-check this at some point, when they have more
time. For now, it works.
Display update method changed, now allways write in memory buffer,
then periodically update physical display.
Speed improvements (now > 5 times faster than the old syscons).
History now circular buffer, with changeable size.
History scroll by up/down line, up/down page, home and end.
Backtab proberly implemented.
Now space for 96 function keys, 63 allocated standard, default now
SCO/SYSV compat again as in the old days.
New keyboard definition files ~share/syscons/keymaps/*
Misc fixes for old "hacks" that broke SCO/SYSV compat.
More that I forgot before writing this...

This command is required to exist in terms of compatibility with the
Posix 1003.2 specification. It actually invokes the lpr service with
the proper options.
No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout.
Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore.
Software cursor blinking/nonblinking.
Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-).
Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines.
Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's.
New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors.
Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines).
Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon).
Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol.
Updated manpages.
