i reported today earlier..tested and works OK..
( To those who want to experience bug try running aub
with old version of socket.ph and with new one or just any
perl script "requiring " <sys/socket.ph> or <sys/cdefs.ph> )
correctly (specified wrong fields to awk). Note that the files in question
are noe the local /etc/master.passwd and /etc/passwd files: this Makefile
expects there to be a seperate master.passwd file under /var/yp for NIS
database creation.
executes after it finishes updating the raw master.passwd file. The script
is just there to invoke /var/yp/Makefile to build new maps and yppush them.
We could have yppasswdd run /var/yp/Makefile directly, but this allws a bit
more flexibility: the user may decide to run some other commands too.
This is a ported/modified version of the yppush program from the
yps-0.21 package from the NYS project. This program is used to propagate
updated NIS maps from an NIS master to an NIS slave. It's normally invoked
by /var/yp/Makefile.
This version of yppush has been modified in the following ways:
- Cleared up several Linux/BSD incompatibilities, largely involving
header files.
- converted from GDBM to DB with extreme predjudice. (well, not really...)
- removed lots of ugly debugging code that really didn't do anyone any good.
- Fixed a couple of inaccurate/badly formatted error messages.
- Renamed some functions to avoid collisions with certain YP routines
hidden inside libc.
- Small signal handling kludge: Linux has different struct sigaction
that us.
- Incorporated some functions from the yps-0.21 library that yppush was
dependent on.
Like ypxfr, this works, but could use come cleaning up.
This is a ported/modified version of the ypxfr program from the yps-0.21
package from the NYS project. This program is normally invoked by ypserv
when it receives a yppush command from an NIS master. It can also be
run from the command line to grab copies of maps when initializing a
slave server.
This program has been hacked in the following ways:
- rpcgen'ed new yp_xdr.c, yp_svc.c and yp_clnt.c files. The old ones were
rather grody.
- Changed certain function names (prefended a _ to them) to avoid conflicts
with certain functions lurking within libc. One major problem here is
that ypxfr needs to bind to a YP master in order to work correctly,
but it can't use the _yp_bind function inside libc because that
function only lets you bind to a domain, not a specific host. Lots
of head scratching here.
- Converted from GDBM to DB at gunpoint.
- Removed lots of really nasty looking DEBUG code to try to reduce clutter.
- Incorporated some of the library code supplied with yps-0.21 on which
ypxfr was dependent.
This program still needs to be cleaned up just as a matter of principle:
I get all icky just looking at it sometimes.
