Make sure all arguments to the yp_*() functions are valid before sending
them off to the server. This is somewhat distressing: once again my
FreeBSD box brought down my entire network because of NIS bogosities.
I *think* the poor argument checking in this module is the cause, but
I still haven't been able to reproduce the exact series of events that
lead to the ypserv crashes. For now I've resorted to sticking my FreeBSD
box in a seprate domain. Hopefully a weekend of heavy testing will
uncover the problem.
Change strtok() to strsep(), cause memory corruption for all
programs which use strtok() too in the same time.
Fix potential NULL reference, depends of /etc/hosts.conf format
Fix the bug when service name fetched always from beginning of the line,
not from parsed token.

remapping mechanism in the following manner: if given an entry +@foo
and there is no netgroup named 'foo,' try searching for a regular
user group called 'foo' and build the cache using the members of
group 'foo' instead. If both a netgroup 'foo' and a user group 'foo'
exist, the 'foo' netgroup takes precedence, since we're primarily
interested in netgroup matching anyway.
This allows access control schemes based on ordinary user groups
(which are also available via NIS) rather than netgroups, since
netgroups on some systems are limited in really brain-damaged ways.
ypserv to do a yp_match() with an a null or empty key causes much havok.
(Note that this could be construed as a denial of service attack if used
maliciously.)
my network because setnetgrent() was trying to do a lookup on group "".
It seems that an attempt to do a yp_match() (and possible yp_next())
on a null or empty key causes Sun's ypserv in SunOS 4.1.3 to exit
suddenly (and without warning). Our ypserv behaves badly in this
situation too, thoush it doesn't appear to crash. In any event, getpwent,
getnetgrent and yp_match() and yp_next() are now extra careful not to
accidentally pass on null or empty arguments.
Also made a small change to getpwent.c to allow +::::::::: wildcarding,
which I had disabled previously.
- Have the +@netgroup/-@netgroup caches handle the +user/-user cases too.
- Clean up getpwent() to take advantage of the improved +user/-user handling.

- In /usr/src/lib/libc/yp/yplib.c, function yp_first when clnt_call
fails with (r != RPC_SUCCESS) ysd->dom_vers should be set to 0! This
ensures that /var/yp/bindings/dom.vers will be read again on retry.
What happens now is that when our server is down and someone tries to
use yp they will continue to try until kingdom come. So:
if(r != RPC_SUCCESS) {
clnt_perror(ysd->dom_client, "yp_first: clnt_call");
ysd->dom_vers = -1;
^^^^ change to 0
goto again;
}
that everyone else does: you can now use +host/-host, +user,-user and
+@netgroup/-@netgroup in /etc/hosts.equiv, /.rhosts, /etc/hosts.lpd and
~/.rhosts. Previously, __ivaliduser would only do host/user matches,
which was lame. This affects all the r-commands, lpd, and any other
program/service that uses ruserok().
An example of the usefullness of this feature would be a hosts.equiv
file that looks like this:
+@equiv-hosts
Since the netgroup database can now be accessed via NIS, this lets you
set up client machines once and then never have to worry about them
again: all hosts.equiv changes can now be done through NIS. Once I
finish with getpwent.c, we'll be able to do similar wacky things
with login authentication too. (Our password field substitution
will finally be on par with everyone else's, and I'll finally be
able to fully integrate my FreeBSD machine into my network without
having to worry about the grad students sneaking into it when I'm
not looking. :)
Danger Will Robinson! I tested this thing every which way I could, but
Murphy's Law applies! If anybody spots a potential security problem with
the way my matching algorithm works, tell me immediately! I don't want
crackers snickering and calling me names behind my back. :)
work because parse_netgrp() doesn't recurse properly. Fixed by
changing
if (parse_netgrp(spos))
return(1);
to
if (parse_netgrp(spos))
continue;
inside parse_netgrp(). (Lucky for me I happen to have a fairly complex
'live' netgroup database to test this stuff with.)
- Added support for reading netgroups from NIS/YP in addition to the
local /etc/netgroups file. (Note that SunOS and many other systems only
support reading netgroups via NIS, which is a bit odd.)
- Fix Evil Null Pointer Dereferences From Hell (tm) that caused
parse_netgrp() to SEGV when expanding netgroups that include
references to other netgroups. Funny how nobody else noticed this.
This is the first step in implimenting +@netgroup substitution in
getpwent.c and any other places that could use it and don't already
support it (which is probably everywhere).
by heading off possible null pointer dereferences in grscan(). Also
change getgrnam() slightly to properly handle the change: if grscan()
returns an rval of 1 and leaves a '+' in the gr_name field and YP is
enabled, poll the YP group.byname map before giving up. This should
insure that we make every effort to find a match in the local and
YP group databases before bailing out.

Fix bugs in floating point formatting. The 4.4lite version is similar
to revision 1.3 in old-cvs and is missing all of jtc's fixes in revision
1.4 in old-cvs. Revision 1.2 in ncvs fixed one of the old bugs but
introduced at least one new one (for %.0e).
old-cvs log:
revision 1.4
date: 1993/11/04 19:38:22; author: jtc; state: Exp; lines: +33 -20
My work from NetBSD to make printf() & friends ANSI C compliant.
Fixes several bugs in floating point formatting:
1. Trailing zeros were being stripped with %e format.
2. %g/%G formats incorrect.
3. Lots of other nits.
the copy built from here was overwritten by the other copy and the other
copy was put in library-building command lines twice. ld now objects to
duplicated modules.
from the code in strftime.c . This affects both the library code
and all the commands using it (e.g. date +%s).
Note that %s is not required by ANSI, but we've already got it in 1.1.5.1.

in an (unlikely) border case (maxgroups==1 and the user is on
an /etc/group line for the same group and that group only ...).
Now this case is dealt with as before ...
Add a missing apostrophe that suggests inverting the frequency to get
tick size. It read better before because `CLK_TCK' suggests a tick
size although it is actually a frequency.
