allowing sysinstall to automagically detect, mount and select an
appropriate FreeBSD CDROM as the installation media. Defining "appropriate"
also requires that you check the version numbers since an older FreeBSD
CD could be in the drive, which is the purpose of this patch.

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.
- Add a 'pushpw' target that only yppushes the various passwd maps
and sends a YPPROC_CLEAR to the local ypserv. This will be used by
rpc.yppasswdd once I merge in the in-place update changes.
yp_access.c:
- Make the yp_access() function print RPC program and procedure numbers
that it doesn't know about in literal form. This will allow it to work
with other prgrams that it doesn't know about, like rpc.ypxfrd I'm going
to import shortly.
yp_dblookup.c:
- Take out the __inline keywords. They weren't really helping me anyway.
- Somehow I broke yp_next() when DB_CACHE wasn't #defined. Fix it.
- Also fix potential case where yp_next() might loop forever; make sure
it checks the return values of all the (dbp->seq)()/R_NEXT calls that
it does as well as comparing keys.
having a hosts.lpd(5) manpage and some references to it from
within lpd(8) might help here. Close PR docs/1277

Fix some comments to reflect reality (in some cases I made changes
to code but not to the comments).
Change some instances of 'inline' to '__inline' to pacify
gcc -ansi -pedantic.
Use rcsid strings more consistently.
Make 'oldaddr' static in yp_access().
Use strcpy()/strcat() in yp_open_db_cache() instead of snprintf().
(Seems to be a little faster this way.)
