No, not really. There are just a couple of long-standing bogosities here that I feel compelled to fix. :) There are two small changes here: 1) yp.x actually contains _three_ protocol definitions: YPPROG (standard NIS client/server procedures), YPPUSH_XFRRESPPROG (callback handler for the YPPROC_XFR service, aka ypxfr/yppush) and YPBINDPROG (for ypbind, ypset & friends). The problem is that when you run yp.x through rpcgen(1), it generates client and server stubs with hooks for all three services. This makes it impossible to actually use the rpcgen-erated code in a program that only deals with _one_ of these services (ypserv, ypbind, etc...) without manually removing the unneeded stubs (either by hand editing or by committing unspeakable horrors with sed). This defeats the whole purpose of using rpcgen and is generally annoying. What I've done is to insert a few #ifndefs and #endifs to allow a programmer to selectively blot out those functions that aren't needed for a particular program. For instance, if you do 'rpcgen -DYPSERV_ONLY', you'll get only the necessary client/server stubs to implement the standard yp client and server functions. If you do 'rpcgen -DYPBIND_ONLY', you get only what you need for ypbind. If you don't #define anything, you get the whole mess, just like before, so existing programs won't notice the difference. (Note that the -D flag is not supported by our existing crufty version of rpcgen, but I intend to update it soon.) 2) The definition for the ypresp_key_val structure is actually incorrect with respect to reality: the key and val members are specified in the wrong order. It should be val/key rather than key/val. For whatever the reason, Sun's actual NIS implementation contradicts the protocol definition in this case. Again, accounting for this bogosity here is cleaner and easier than mangling the output from rpcgen. |

\ \___ / |
Welcome to the ALPHA release of FreeBSD 2.0 - the /- _ `-/ '
first public snapshot of our new 4.4BSD Lite based (/\/ \ \ /\
operating system environment. This install proce- / / | ` \
dure is also at the ALPHA stage, and contains only O O ) / |
the minimum functionality required by an `-^--'`< '
*EXPERIENCED* person to install the system. (_.) _ ) /
It is our hope, of course, that the feedback `.___/` /

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK! Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!
If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen. The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation! Thanks!
Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys. To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice. Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.
For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.
For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1 We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!
Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!
Comments should be sent to:
hackers@FreeBSD.org
Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:
bugs@FreeBSD.org
And general questions to:
questions@FreeBSD.org
Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).
Thanks!
