/var/yp/master.passwd template file and it uses the same kind of code
as chpass(1), it may also be vulnerable to the bug from PR #1519.
May as well deal with it since I'm in the area. (yppasswdd in -stable
doesn't do additions, therefore it shouldn't be have this problem.)
and both changes need to be pulled into the stable branch). The
problem here is that when pwd_mkdb creates /etc/passwd, it turns
empty UID and GID fields into zeroes. To fix this, we check the
_PWF_UID and _PWF_GID bits in the pw_fields flag: if the bits
are not set, we print an empty field instead of a zero. This way,
you don't get zeroes in the UID or GID fields unless you explicit
want them.
the required size, as opposed to simply `touch'ing it. This works
around problems in the -current NFS and/or VFS and/or VM code.
Also hint about restricting the permissions to this file.
which is what syslogd presumably uses too. Notice that the "protocol"
is bogus in not defining the timezone. "protocol" because it hardly
deserves the name :-)

Unfortunately, if the directory was larger than NFS_DIRBLKSIZ, then
this confused nfs_readdirrpc(), making it appear as if the directory

I've bumped into a few things that expected this switch to be present,
the most recent was the snmp package in ports. I'm not 100% sure of the
origins of this, but Linux has it, so does the "BSD-compatable" version
of ps on our SVR4 systems (so I assume SunOS has it too).
or rpc.ypxfrd processes on remote systems that aren't bound to reserved
ports. The servers already do reserved port checks on the clients.
Obtained from: scrutinizing the OpenBSD ypxfr sources. (Note that this
applies to the ypserv check only; OpenBSD doesn't have an rpc.ypxfrd.)
Add progname to warning/error message layout. (joerg)
Remove inline assembler, no speed impact, not need for the obfuscation (bde)
Remove on the fly calculation of parameters, no longer critical.
Make D & U flags valid even if we don't support them.
Don't call imalloc until we're done initializing.
Zap contents on free() if we have "Junk" set. [*]
Various nitpicking.
[*] As a sideeffect of this change, if you are worried about
sensitive data lingering in memory, you can use the 'Junk' option
now to make sure phkmalloc zaps memory when it is returned. add
char * malloc_options = "J";
to your source. Obviously there is a performance impact.
``/dev/??'' for NFS swap.
I had a hard time to figure out whether it's possible to print the
actual mounted swap file, but i failed to get any information. If
anybody knows how to get ``192.168.0.1:/swap.192.168.0.3'' instead,
please step forward!
When I booted my system without the above option, the CDROM could not
respond in time to the bootup probe of devices and was "missed". When
I tried to access the device I got the "Device not configured" error
message. I rebuilt the kernel with the SCSI_DELAY option and the
problem went away.
