This commit covers the man pages for most of the ANSI library functions.
A few others such as strtol.3 have to mention <sys/types.h> because they
mix ANSI interfaces with less well designed extensions.
getnetgrent.c:
- Catch one bogon that snuck by: in _listmatch(), check for '\0'
rather than '\n'; strings returned from yp_match() are terminated
with a nul, not a newline.
getpwent.c:
- Rip out all of the +inclusion/-exclusion stuff from before and
replace it with something a little less grotty. The main problem
with the old mechanism was that it wasted many cycles processing
NIS entries even after it already knew they were to be exlcuded
(or not included, depending on your pointof view). The highlights
of these changes include:
o Uses an in-memory hash database table to keep track of all the
-@netgroup, -user, and -@group exclusions.
o Tries harder to duplicate the behavior normally obtained when using
NIS inclusions/exclusions on a flat /etc/passwd file (meaning things
come out in much the same order).
o Uses seperate methods for handling getpwent() and getpwnam()/getpwuid()
operations instead of trying to do everything with one general
function, which didn't work as well as I thought it would.
o Uses both getnetgrent() and innetgr() to try to save time where
possible.
o Use only one special token in the local password database
(_PW_KEYYPBYNUM) instead of seperate tokens to mark + and -
entries (and stop using the counter tokens too). If this new
token doesn't exist, the code will make due with the standard
_PW_KEYBYNUM token in order to support older databases that
won't have the new token in them.
All this is an attempt to make this stuff work better in environments
with large NIS passwd databases.
- Clear the _yp_innetgr flag immediately after calling setnetgrent() from
innetgr(). We only need the flag set to temporarily alter setnetgrent()'s
behavior. Previously, it was being cleared too late.
- When in NIS-only mode, innetgr() was wasting time doing unecessary
extra processing after it had already found a match.
- Remember to free memory allocated by the NIS functions during innetgr()
searches.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
matter much on some systems, but on ftp servers (like wcarchive) where
you run with special stripped group and pwd.db files in the anonymous
ftp /etc, this can be a major speedup for ls(1).
reconnect once using the saved openlog() parameters.
This helps one of the system startup race conditions. If syslogd takes too
long to get going, some daemons can fail the connection and forever log
to the console even though the syslogd is running. That is ..unfortunate..
the statically compiled PS_STRINGS and USRSTACK variables. This prevents
programs using setproctitle from coredumping if the kernel VM is increased,
and stops libkvm users (w, ps, etc) from needing to be recompiled if only
the VM layout changes.
for "fts_open" was wrong. Also, the "fts_info" field of the FTSENT
structure was misleadingly described as containing "flags". Actually, it
contains a single integer value.
in the main text of various man pages.
Thanks to Warner Losh for adding an option to manck to allow
it to scan the entire man page looking for bogus xrefs, instead
of just checking the SEE ALSO section.
Also corrected a few minor formatting errors, file location and cross
references in some of the section 3 man pages.
This shuts up a lot of the output from "manck" for section 3.
Install (optional) libutil.h with prototypes for the functions and
document this in the man page.
minor cleanups to the various routines, include the prototype file, declare
return codes etc.
of signals. Signals are now properly caught, tty state is being
restored, and the previous sigaction triggered. Upon receipt of a
sigcont, echo is turned off again.
SIGTSTP causes a buffer flush, the man page mentions this. (Although
i rather think of it as a feature than a bug.)
This is likely to be my last FreeBSD action for 1995, xearth shows
me that our .au guys must already write 1996. :-)
replace the dozen other various hacks in the code that do all sorts
of crude things including spamming the envrionment strings with the new
argv string.
This version is mainly inspired by the sendmail version, with a couple of
ideas taken from the NetBSD implementation as well.
- Fix buffer overflow problem once and for all: do away with the buffer
copies to 'user' prior to calling _scancaches() and just pass a pointer
to the buffer returned by yp_match()/yp_first()/yp_next()/whatever.
(We turn the first ':' to a NUL first so strcmp() works, then change it
back later. Submitted by Bill Fenner <fenner@parc.xerox.com> and
tweaked slightly by me.
- Give _pw_breakout_yp() the 'more elegant solution' I promised way back when.
Eliminate several copies to static buffers and replace them with just
one copy. (The buffer returned by the NIS functions is at most
YPMAXRECORD bytes long, so we should only need one static buffer of
the same length (plus 2 for paranoia's sake).)
- Also in _pw_breakout_yp(): always set pw.pw_passwd to the username
obtained via NIS regardless of what pw_fields says: usernames cannot
be overridden so we have no choice but to use the name returned by
NIS.
- _Again_ in _pw_breakout_yp(): before doing anything else, check that
the first character of the NIS-returned buffer is not a '+' or '-'.
If it is, drop the entry. (#define EXTRA_PARANOIA 1 :)
- Probe for the master.passwd.* maps once during __initdb() instead
of doing it each time _getyppass() or _nextyppass() is called.
- Don't copy the NIS data buffers to static memory in _getyppass()
and _nextyppass(): this is done in _pw_breakout_yp() now.
- Test against phkmalloc and phkmalloc/2 (TNG!) to make sure we're
free()ing the yp buffers sanely.
- Put _havemaster(), _getyppass() and nextyppass() prototypes under
#ifdef YP. (Somehow they ended up on the wrong side of the #endif.)
- Remove unused variable ___yp_only.
- In some cases, we don't properly resolve _all_ possible group memberships.
If a user is a member of both local and NIS groups, we sometimes lose some
of the membership info from NIS. (Reported by: Thorsten Kukuk
<kukuk@uni-paderborn.de>)
- Make NIS +groupname overrides actually work the way the SunOS group(5)
man page says they should (make them work for all cases: getgrent(),
getgrnam() and getgrgid()).
- When not compiled with -DYP, grscan() should ignore entries that
begin with a '+'. When compiled _with_ -DYP, grscan() should ignore
+groupname entries that don't refer to real NIS groups.
- Remove redundant redeclaration of fgets(), strsep() and index() inside
grscan(). We already #include all the right header files for these.
Note: -groupname exclusion as specified in the Sun documentation still
isn't supported. This'll be a 2.2 addition. Right now I just want this
stuff to work.
What was happening, is if syslogd was not running, syslog() would do
a strcat("\r\n") on a non-null-terminated buffer, and write it to the console.
This meant that sometimes extra characters could be written to the console
during boot, depending on the stack contents.
This totally avoids the potential problem by using writev() like the rest
of the does, and avoid modifying the buffer after the trouble we've gone to
to carefully protect it.
This is actually a trivial fix, in spite of the long commit message.. :-)
It only appeared during boot and shutdown with syslogd stopped.
