This commit was manufactured by cvs2svn to create tag

'RELENG_2_1_6_RELEASE'.

This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 2.1.6-RELEASE image.
Releases prior to 5.3-RELEASE are omitting the secure/ and crypto/ subdirs.

Remove trailing whitespace.

Removed code from yp_xdr.c module that now lives in libc. (Unfortunately,

1995-04-02T17:01:31+00:00

ypxfr can't easily be reduced down to one file like yppush because it
needs to do certain special things (such as binding to a specific
machine (the NIS master)) which the yp_*() functions in libc don't
allow.

Rework error reporting/logging: although the SunOS documentation says

1995-03-31T05:45:23+00:00

that ypxfr is supposed to log messages to /var/yp/ypxfr.log if it exists,
using syslog() makes more sense, especially since ypserv does the same
thing already. Try to use stderr by default, and use syslog() if stderr
is not a tty.

Also update the man page to reflect this change.

Ack... clean up the logfile name generation that I botched in the last

1995-03-30T04:21:31+00:00

commit.

Fix up the way _PATH_YP is used to put together the pathname to the

1995-03-30T04:14:46+00:00

NIS maps (get rid of extraneous slash a la /var/yp//domainname).

Have ypxfr log all output to /var/yp/ypxfr.log if stdin is not a
tty. This should allow logging to be done when ypxfr is called from
inside ypserv in response to a yppush request.

Update man page to reflect the change (and fix a typo).

Removed annoying changelog entries from ypclnt.c, added usage() function

1995-02-06T23:35:49+00:00

to ypxfr.c.

Wrote manual page for ypxfr, modified Makefile to install it.

Obtained from: The NYS project

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.
