The standard SunOS ypbind(8) (and, until now, the FreeBSD ypbind)
only selects servers based on whether or not they respond to clnt_broadcast().
Ypbind(8) broadcasts to the YPPROC_DOMAIN_NONACK procedure and waits
for answers; whichever server answers first is the one ypbind uses
for the local client binding.
This mechanism fails when binding across subnets is desired. In order
for a client on one subnet to bind to a server on another subnet, the
gateway(s) between the client and server must be configured to forward
broadcasts. If this is not possible, then a slave server must be
installed on the remote subnet. If this is also not possible, you
have to force the client to bind to the remote server with ypset(8).
Unfortunately, this last option is less than ideal. If the remote
server becomes unavailable, ypbind(8) will lose its binding and
revert to its broadcast-based search behavior. Even if there are
other servers available, or even if the original server comes back
up, ypbind(8) will not be able to create a new binding since all
the servers are on remote subnets where its broadcasts won't be heard.
If the administrator isn't around to run ypset(8) again, the system
is hosed.
In some Linux NIS implementations, there exists a yp.conf file where
you can explicitly specify a server address and avoid the use of
ypbind altogether. This is not desireable since it removes the
possibility of binding to an alternate server in the event that the
one specified in yp.conf crashes.
Some people have mentioned to me how they though the 'restricted mode'
operation (using the -S flag) could be used as a solution for this
problem since it allows one to specify a list of servers. In fact,
this is not the case: the -S flag just tells ypbind(8) that when it
listens for replies to its broadcasts, it should only honor them if
the replying hosts appear in the specified restricted list.
This behavior has now been changed. If you use the -m flag in conjunction
with the -S flag, ypbind(8) will use a 'many-cast' instead of a broadcast
for choosing a server. In many-cast mode, ypbind(8) will transmit directly
to the YPPROC_DOMAIN_NONACK procedure of all the servers specified in
the restricted mode list and then wait for a reply. As with the broadcast
method, whichever server from the list answers first is used for the
local binding. All other behavior is the same: ypbind(8) continues
to ping its bound server every 60 seconds to insure it's still alive
and will many-cast again if the server fails to respond. The code used
to achieve this is in yp_ping.c; it includes a couple of modified RPC
library routines.
Note that it is not possible to use this mechanism without using
the restricted list since we need to know the addresses of the available
NIS servers ahead of time in order to transmit to them.

Because
1) In the real system there is a lot of symlinks nowdays over
/var, /spool, etc. Mtree can't do anything for them, i.e. change
permissions/owner. I.e. if you have /var/mail -> /somewhere
it will never be changed to group "mail" 775 like -current does now,
symlink totally confuses mtree.
2) Mtree can't deal with symlinks properly in any case (they are created
separately in other places now), so we lost no functionality by making
them invisible for mtree.

found that my syslogd is now running them for several months...
Add an option to syslogd to restrict the IP addresses that are allowed
to log to this syslogd. It's too late to develop the inter-syslogd
communications protocol mentioned in the BUGS section, some 10 years
too late. Thus, restricting the IP address range is about the most
effective change we can do if we want to allow incoming syslog
messages at all.
IMHO, we should encourage the system administrators to use this option,
and thus provide a knob in /etc/rc.* for it, defaulting to -a 127.0.0.1/32
(just as a hint about the usage).
Please state opinions about whether to merge this change into 2.2 or
not (i've got it running on RELENG_2_2 anyway).
Instead, reverse the order of the testing, so if a symbolic name starts with
a digit, we'll see if we can make a network address out of it first. If
that fails, then we'll call getnet...

vnconfig doesn't seem to be in Lite2, although dev/vn is. The Lite2

Vnconfig probably shouldn't support mounting - it only supports ufs.

I suspect it was because the child exec code's parent was doing the
initial lookups, then forking, then doing other things (possibly trashing
the static data in the getpw*() buffer), then attempting to dereference
*pwd and *lc. Also, no error checking appeared to be done - I've allowed
it to fall back to the old "become user" code on critical failure rather than
risk running a user's cron jobs as root.
Accept SIGHUP as a "re-open logfile" signal. As ppp
doesn't set it's serial line to it's controlling terminal,
we can use HUP :)
This is a candidate for 2.2. The log.[ch] changes won't
conflict, but the main.c changes will. We just want to change the
kill(...,SIGHUP) to a SIGTERM and change the signal(SIGHUP,Hangup)
to a pending_signal(SIGHUP,LogReOpen).
These changes should fix the signal "problems" in ppp.
The signal changes should really be put into 2.2 too !
The following patches should do it. There were some other
changes made by Andrey recently that havn't been brought

dangerous! Signal handlers themself must be fixed to not call malloc,
but no pended handlers, it will be correct fix. In finite case each signal
handler can set some variable which will be analized later, but calling
handler functions manually is too dangerous (f.e. signals not blocked while
the handler or handlers switch executed in this case). Of course this
code can be fixed instead of removing, but it not worth fixing in any case.
Should go into 2.2
In addition sig.c code shows following dangerous fragments (there can be more,
but I stop after two):
This fragment
if (fn == SIG_DFL || fn == SIG_IGN) {
handler[sig-1] = (sig_type)0;
<------------- here
signal(sig,fn);
} else {
cause NULL pointer reference when signal comes
"here", but more worse fragment is below:
void handle_signals() {
int sig;
if (caused)
for (sig=0; sig<__MAXSIG; sig++, caused>>=1)
if (caused&1)
(*handler[sig])(sig+1);
}
caused is bitmask which set corresponding bit on each signal coming.
And now imagine, what happens when some signal comes (bit sets) while loop
is executed (see caused>>=1 !!!)
In this light carrier drop situation was (as gdb shows)
1. SIGSEGV in handle_signals because some junk called as *handler reference.
2. Since SIGSEGV was pended too (== never happens),
it can cause various range of disasters.
