/var/run resides on an NFS filesystem (flock() always returns 0 in
this case, so we falsely assume that ypbind is dead and bail out).
Settle instead for better failure checking when using clnttcp_create()
and clnt_call() to interact with ypbind. We still try to flock()
/var/yp/binding/$DOMAINNAME.2, but if this doesn't work, we drop into
the code that retrieves the binding information from ypbind directly.
If that also fails, then we're toast. On NFS filesystems, this means
we'll be ignoring the binding file for no reason and always talking to
ypbind even though we don't have to, but at least things will work.
(I could just replace the flock(/var/run/ypbind.lock) check with
an RPC call to ypbind's NULLPROC procedure, but if the flock() of
the binding file doesn't pan out we're going to try to talk to
ypbind later anyway. *sigh* Is NFS file locking ever going to work?)
broken. The translation from network number to ASCII string was not
working correctly (you would sometimes get things like 0.244.0.0 instead
of 244.0.0).
Also copied results of yp_match() to a static buffer for consistency
with gethostbynis.c.
Note: _getnetbynisaddr() chops off trailing .0's, i.e. 244.0.0 is
truncated to 244. By contrast, getnetbyht.c code (for local /etc/networks
lookups) leaves the traling .0's in place. This means that the NIS
and local file lookups will match different things when looking up the
same network number. I'm not sure which is the correct behavior. (I
think the DNS lookup code tries all combinations -- should the NIS
and local host lookup routines do that too?)
determine if the interface had been assigned an IP address.
This code prevented the interface from receiving ethernet
broadcasts if it had no IP address assigned, and appeared
to be an optimization that is not completely needed.
Get rid of ac->ac_ipaddr and arpwhohas() since they assume that
an interface has only one address.

from Larry Peterson &co. at Arizona:
- Header prediction for ACKs did not exclude Fast Retransmit/Recovery.
- srtt calculation tended to get ``stuck'' and could never decrease
when below 8. It still can't, but the scaling factors are adjusted
so that this artifact does not cause as bad an effect on the RTO
value as it used to.
The paper also points out the incr/8 error that has been long since fixed,
and the problems with ACKing frequency resulting from the use of options
which I suspect to be fixed already as well (as part of the T/TCP work).

Add support for LKM operation.
Change M_NOWAIT on buffer memory allocation to M_WAIT in hopes we'll be
able to get ourselves a nice fat buffer from the kernel if we suspend.
Note: The LKM support looks kinda screwy in two areas, where I found
problems with the kernel proper. First, calling dev_attach()
at module load time will cause a panic. I haven't investigated.
Secondly, I had to manually call qcam_drvinit() to register the
device softc structure by hand at module load time. This seems
bogus, it should be called as a core part of the module load
process for character/block device drivers.
the precision; ANSI X3J11 is not crystal clear but certainly says
that the precision specifies the number of /digits/, and signs
and "0x" aren't really digits.
NetBSD already has a similar patch.
There needs to be a better way of doing this..
preferably we could add another pass to the
normal libc makefiles to do _r versions as well as _p versions
of a successful map retrieval. (This has to do with a previous change
to xdr_ypresp_all_seq() and ypxfr_get_map(); originally, yp_all()
would look for a return value of YP_FALSE to signal success, but now
it should be looking for YP_NOMORE. It should not be passing YP_NOMORE
back up to the caller though.)
Noticed by: <aagero@aage.priv.no>
There is also another small bug here, which is that the call to
xdr_free() that happens immediately after the clnt_call() in yp_all()
clobbers the return status value. I've worked around this for now,
but I think the xdr_free() is actually bogus and should be removed.
I want to check some more before I do that though.
