- Handle 'empty' maps more gracefully. By empty I mean a valid map that
just happens not to have any entries in it, such as you would get if
you built a map database from an empty file. Previously, trying to
ypxfr such a map would yield an 'NIS map/database error' which is not
the correct behavior.
ypxfr_misc:
- Make sure to free() or xdr_free() dynamically allocated memory in
ypxfr_get_master() as necessary.
to the old one, except that it supports an additional option (-p path)
that lets you specify the top level path wiere your NIS maps live.
(ypserv allows you to specify a path like this, so it makes sense that
ypxfr should too. ypserv will automagically pass the -p flag to ypxfr
if you use a path other than /var/yp when you start it.)
This program uses client stub code generated by rpcgen as well as
the yp_dblookup.c module from ypserv.
