Import the new yp_mkdb. This one does what the old one does, but is hopefully less grotty. Differences include: - An extra flag, -c, for sending a YPPROC_CLEAR to ypserv(8) (which will become useful once I merge in the DB handle caching mods I've been working on). - Checks for and signals duplicate keys. - Handles line continuations.

.Op Fl c
Add -b and -s flags for adding YP_INTERDOMAIN and YP_SECURE entries to map databases. Also document said flags in the man page. Adding YP_INTERDOMAIN to a map causes ypserv(8) to do a DNS lookup when a yp_match() on the map fails. (This affects only the hosts.by* maps; for all other maps it's ignored.) The YP_SECURE entry causes ypserv(8) to restrict access to the map so that only clients making requests from reserved ports can get at it. Our ypserv doesn't currently support these features so they're silently ignored for the moment, but this will change. :)

.Op Fl b
.Op Fl s
Modify yp_mkdb so that it only checks for bogus '+' and '-' characters in source input if the -f flag is used, and modify Makefile.yp to only use -f for the passwd, master.passwd and group maps. These should be the only ones for which the + and - characters have special meaning that make it important for us to avoid letting them into any of the map databases. In some cases (namely the automounter maps) we have to allow at least the - character through in order to create the map properly. This closes PR #8699.

Modify yp_mkdb so that it only checks for bogus '+' and '-' characters in source input if the -f flag is used, and modify Makefile.yp to only use -f for the passwd, master.passwd and group maps. These should be the only ones for which the + and - characters have special meaning that make it important for us to avoid letting them into any of the map databases. In some cases (namely the automounter maps) we have to allow at least the - character through in order to create the map properly. This closes PR #8699.

Import the new yp_mkdb. This one does what the old one does, but is hopefully less grotty. Differences include: - An extra flag, -c, for sending a YPPROC_CLEAR to ypserv(8) (which will become useful once I merge in the DB handle caching mods I've been working on). - Checks for and signals duplicate keys. - Handles line continuations. As of now, there is no more GNU YP code in the tree.

Add -b and -s flags for adding YP_INTERDOMAIN and YP_SECURE entries to map databases. Also document said flags in the man page. Adding YP_INTERDOMAIN to a map causes ypserv(8) to do a DNS lookup when a yp_match() on the map fails. (This affects only the hosts.by* maps; for all other maps it's ignored.) The YP_SECURE entry causes ypserv(8) to restrict access to the map so that only clients making requests from reserved ports can get at it. Our ypserv doesn't currently support these features so they're silently ignored for the moment, but this will change. :)
