Import new rpc.yppasswdd. (Note: accompanying changes to passwd(1) and chpass(1) are on the way too.) This version supports all the features of the old one and adds several new ones: - Supports real multi-domain operation (optional, can be turned on with a command-line flag). This means you can actually have several different domains all served from one NIS server and allow users in any of the supported domains to change their passwords. The old yppasswdd only allowed changing passwords in the domain that was set as the system default domain name on the NIS master server. The new one can change passwords in any domain by trying to match the user information passed to it against all the passwd maps it can find. This is something of a hack, but the yppasswd.x protocol definiton does not allow for a domain to be passwd as an argument to rpc.yppasswdd, so the server has no choice but to grope around for a likely match. Since this method can fail if the same user exists in two domains, this feature is off by default. If the feature is turned on and the server becomes confused by duplicate entries, it will abort the update. - Does not require NIS client services to be available. NIS servers do _NOT_ necessarily have to be configured as NIS clients in order to function: the ypserv, ypxfr and yppush programs I've written recently will operate fine even if the system domain name isn't set, ypbind isn't running and there are no magic '+' entries in any of the /etc files. Now rpc.yppasswdd is the same way. The old yppasswdd would not work like this because it depended on getpwent(3) and friends to look up users: this will obviously only work if the system where yppasswdd is running is configured as an NIS client. The new rpc.yppasswdd doesn't use getpwent(3) at all: instead it searches through the master.passwd map databases directly. This also makes it easier for it to handle multiple domains. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master server to change any user's password without requiring password authentication. rpc.yppasswdd creates a UNIX domain socket (/var/run/ypsock) which it monitors using the same svc_run() loop used to handle incoming RPC requests. It also clears all the permission bits for /var/run/ypsock; since this socket is owned by root, this prevents anyone except root from successfully connect()ing to it. (Using a UNIX domain socket also prevents IP spoofing attacks.) By building code into passwd(1) and chpass(1) to take advantage of this 'trusted' channel, the superuser can use them to send private requests to rpc.yppasswdd. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master to use chpass(1) to update _all_ of a user's master.passwd information. The UNIX domain access point accepts a full master.passwd style structure (along with a domain name and other information), which allows the superuser to update all of a user's master.passwd information in the NIS master.passwd maps. Normal users on NIS clients are still only allowed to change their full name and shell information with chpass. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master to _add_ records to the NIS master.passwd maps using chpass(1). This feature is also switchable with a command-line flag and is off by default.

Modify rpc.yppasswdd to use the new AF_LOCAL transport in the RPC library instead of its own kludged up version. This makes the special 'superuser-only' update procedure work just like a real RPC service.

Added support for in-place updates: If rpc.yppasswdd is invoked with the -i flag, password changes will be made to the master.passwd template file and the hash map files in-place, which means it won't have to run a complete map update. Instead, it calls /var/yp/Makefile with the 'pushpw' target, which just pushes the maps to the slaves and runs yp_mkdb -c to tell the local ypserv to flush its database cache. The server will check the passwd.byname and passwd.byuid maps to see if they were built in 'insecure' or 'secure' mode (i.e. with real encrypted passwords in them or without) and update them accordingly. This combined with rpc.ypxfrd greatly reduces the amount of time it takes to complete an NIS password change, especially with very large passwd databases.

Implement incremental passwd database updates. This is done by ading a '-u' option to pwd_mkdb and adding this option to utilities invoking it. Further, the filling of both the secure and insecure databases has been merged into one loop giving also a performance improvemnet. Note that I did *not* change the adduser command. I don't read perl (it is a write only language anyway). The change will drastically improve performance for passwd and friends with large passwd files. Vipw's performance won't change. In order to do that some kind of diff should be made between the old and new master.passwd and depending the amount of changes, an incremental or complete update of the databases should be agreed upon.

Add securenets support (uses same access control mechanism as ypserv, also controlled by /var/yp/securenets). Add -u flag to turn off the privileged port check done by yp_access(); some commercial systems (IRIX, Solaris 2.x, HP-UX, and probably others) don't use a reserved port for submitting yppasswd updates. If we always enforce the check, these client systems will be unable to submit updates to us. Document securenets support and -u flag in man page. Like ypserv, you can compile rpc.yppasswdd to use the tcpwrapper package instead of securenets if you want to.

If the feature is turned on and the server becomes confused by duplicate entries, it will abort the update. - Does not require NIS client services to be available. NIS servers do _NOT_ necessarily have to be configured as NIS clients in order to function: the ypserv, ypxfr and yppush programs I've written recently will operate fine even if the system domain name isn't set, ypbind isn't running and there are no magic '+' entries in any of the /etc files. Now rpc.yppasswdd is the same way. The old yppasswdd would not work like this because it depended on getpwent(3) and friends to look up users: this will obviously only work if the system where yppasswdd is running is configured as an NIS client. The new rpc.yppasswdd doesn't use getpwent(3) at all: instead it searches through the master.passwd map databases directly. This also makes it easier for it to handle multiple domains. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master server to change any user's password without requiring password authentication. rpc.yppasswdd creates a UNIX domain socket (/var/run/ypsock) which it monitors using the same svc_run() loop used to handle incoming RPC requests. It also clears all the permission bits for /var/run/ypsock; since this socket is owned by root, this prevents anyone except root from successfully connect()ing to it. (Using a UNIX domain socket also prevents IP spoofing attacks.) By building code into passwd(1) and chpass(1) to take advantage of this 'trusted' channel, the superuser can use them to send private requests to rpc.yppasswdd. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master to use chpass(1) to update _all_ of a user's master.passwd information. The UNIX domain access point accepts a full master.passwd style structure (along with a domain name and other information), which allows the superuser to update all of a user's master.passwd information in the NIS master.passwd maps. Normal users on NIS clients are still only allowed to change their full name and shell information with chpass. - Allows the superuser on the NIS master to _add_ records to the NIS master.passwd maps using chpass(1). This feature is also switchable with a command-line flag and is off by default.
