Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
o Allow "set var" with no args to blank var (don't req "").
o Zero VarTerm ASAP if not in interactive mode.
o Never print anything to stdout in -direct mode.
o Count redial when failing to open modem.
o Increase device size to 40 characters (for host:port).
o Remove missed "if (fd == 0) fd = 1;".
o Don't give up on incoming non-terminal connections.
o Use syslog
o Remove references to stdout/stderr (incl perror())
o Introduce VarTerm - the interactive terminal or zero
o Allow "set timeout" to affect current session
o Change "set debug" to "set log"
o Allow "set log [+|-]flag"
o Make MSEXT and PASSWDAUTH stuff the default
o Move all #ifdef DEBUG stuff into the code - this
shouldn't be too much overhead. It's now controlled
with "set log +debug"
o Add "set log command, debug, tun, warn, error, alert"
o Remove cdefs.h, and assume an ansi compiler.
o Improve all diagnostic output
o Don't trap SIGSEGV
o SIGHUP now terminates again (log files are controlled
by syslog)
o Call CloseModem() when changing devices
o Fix parsing of third arg of "delete"
I think this fixes the "magic is same" problems that some
people have been experiencing.
The man page is being rewritten. It'll follow soon.

I should have noticed it when I integrated the code into rpc.ypupdated.

received and after the TerminateAck is sent (as
per rfc1661) rather than to ST_STOPPING. Going
to ST_STOPPING will leave us in a state where
we're waiting for the other side to do something -
not a good idea, especially as the client side sends
a TerminateReq then exits on idle timeout.
alias commands simply won't work. Only root may specify the
location of the alias lib (otherwise, it's hard-coded).

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.

o Make reconnect effective in -background mode.
o Listen on socket in -background mode.
o Try all phone numbers in -background mode.
o Insist on system arg in -background mode.
o Make a control-connection close command exit in -background mode.
o Output status message to stdout on exit of parent in -background mode.
o Don't notify parent of success too soon.
o Describe termination EX_* code.
o Miscelaneous diagnostic corrections.
o Remove redundant connect_time from modem.c.
o Don't repeatedly DownConnection().
to FTS_LOGICAL (follow symlinks and return their targets)
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.

Fix bogus "trail" left in parse routine where the code jumps

(good thing for apache f.e.) This change is backward compatible with old
newsyslog.conf files.
2) Do not compress log if SIGHUP sending failed for some reason
(f.e. pid file deleted). Newcoming messages will be lost
otherwise.
3) Misc cleanup while I am here.
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...

Delete bogus local versions of mount*.[ch] and nfs_prot*.[ch].
Use v3 protocol by default for NFS mounts. If v3 is not supported, v2 is
used automatically. Add a new mount options for NFS, 'nfsv2' to allow the
administrator to force the use of the older protocol.
Document the new mount options and fix a couple of markup problems.

Document this behaviour. Document that the number of dial attempts

each number is dialed. Add a missing .El. Give a decent description

Also apply stricter access control rules; ypproc_xfr_2_svc() is in a

Change mountd such that it does never set this variable, but only clears

Log client connection/disconnection with PHASE_BIT now.
Add more error recovery on client disconnection
(presumably because the kernel is old). Moved the declaration of a
variable realated to this sysctl outside of an unrelated ifdef.
Not fixed:
- this sysctl is badly named (nfs occurs twice).
- it's silly to have for FreeBSD in FreeBSD code, especially when
only half of the FreeBSD-dependent code is ifdefed.

Include libutil.h and use uu_lock() correctly where it should.

in the Lite2 merge to not export some nfs constants. It started causing
warnings when I added a kernel-only #define for DIRBLKSIZ.
Removed `#define NFS'. This was an old, bad interface for telling
<sys/mount.h> to export nfs stuff.
it's done for pci. This is so that systat and vmstat can get at the
interrupt counts for the Inter-Processor Interrupts when running a smp
kernel. This doesn't affect the normal kernel, but makes life easier for
the smp people who don't have to track two versions of config.
vnconfig doesn't seem to be in Lite2, although dev/vn is. The Lite2
merge in userland has converted all mount calls except this one and
one for devfs in init, so we can drop support for old mount args soon.
Vnconfig probably shouldn't support mounting - it only supports ufs.
non-standard and not used. "port auto" is equal to "port?" or missing "port"
