This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
of the user's timezone failed), don't bail if the specified timezone
doesn't have an offset; in this case it isn't going to. (Perhaps it would
be better to change the caller to always supply one, but this is quick
and clean and fixes the bug in the easiest possible way.)
Should be in 2.2. Fixes (properly) PR#1740.
interfaces, until it's redone to use sysctl().
- bump the SIOCGIFCONF buffer size from 1K to 8K
- if we didn't find a suitable address, return a failure. Previously
if it didn't find anything it left the return address uninitialised.
Perhaps it would be better to return AF_INET/111/127.0.0.1 rather than
failing?
more manageable and convenient referencing by login.conf (login
class database) and (e.g.) login.access.
This is the first of a group of commits which implements the login
class capabilities database.
(There may be a behavior difference between the 2.1 and 2.2/3.0 kernels
in this area, it seemed to work for me but I have a horribly hacked
select() that might have a bug in the handling of this)

Restore the clamp on the return value from rpc_dtablesize().. Some programs
(eg: ypserv) use this as an indication of how large svc_fdset is in their
hand-rolled svc_run() loops. The svc_fdset table is maintained by the
rpc library explicitly for compatability with such programs. (It uses
a different variable-sized bitmap itself internally)
- prototypes now in include files

Note: potential bug here, It looks like there could be a null pointer
dereference depending on what has already been called to initialise some
shared data.
- kill non-FD_SETSIZE code
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
Note, there was a nasty bug with our old code here. It would trash the
stack if a fd > 31 was passed in. It was using a "long" as though it
was an "fd_set", ie: it was assuming that a long was 256 bits wide. :-(
This has been lurking here for a while, since the FD_SETSIZE #ifdef's
were first implemented.
- fix timeout code
- better sequence number generation (for long running daemons)
- dont close an unopen socket
- use standard functions
- 64 bit type safe for wire protocols
- unlimited file descriptors
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
- ensure we're not spoofed/confused while trying to talk to the portmapper
- handle new get_myaddress failure cases
- prototype now in include file
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
- fix timeout code
- better "random" initial transaction id for long running daemons
- unlimited number of file descriptors to select().
- 64 bit type safe wire protocol
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
- typo (spelling police :-)
- dont die on select() that returns time remaining (on my systems)
- improve initial "random" sequence number, to make it harder to guess
in long running daemons.
- fix timeout code.
- unlimited number of fd's in select.
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
- Protect against select() that returns time remaining (on my systems).
- don't exit. It's bad form for libc to exit() or abort() instead of
returning an error.
- only use loopback addresses after checking the real interfaces.
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
- canonical function declaration
- use constants from includes, not magic numbers
- use standard functions
Obtained from: a diff of FreeBSD vs. OpenBSD/NetBSD rpc code.
