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.
do it themselves. (Some of these programs actually depended on this
beyond compiling the definition of struct ifinfo!) Also fix up some
other #include messes while we're at it.
man pages up to mdoc guidelines and fix some minor formatting glitches.
Also fixed a number of man pages to not abuse the .Xr macro to
display functions and path names and a lot of other junk.
added "#define PRECISE_SYMLINKS" to the amd config header - this
solves a problem with the amd "-type:=direct" mounts and /bin/sh
giving a "readlink failed" if you cd'ed to a "-type:=direct" mounted
directory
i got this from david mazieres as a result of giving him our (mostly
doug rabsons) fixes for the amd "-type:=direct" mounts and telling
them (also some NetBSD people were interested) about my only problem
running these fixes (which is now solved too :-)
The version 2 support has been tested (client+server) against FreeBSD-2.0,
IRIX 5.3 and FreeBSD-current (using a loopback mount). The version 2 support
is stable AFAIK.
The version 3 support has been tested with a loopback mount and minimally
against an IRIX 5.3 server. It needs more testing and may have problems.
I have patched amd to support the new variable length filehandles although
it will still only use version 2 of the protocol.
Before booting a kernel with these changes, nfs clients will need to at least
build and install /usr/sbin/mount_nfs. Servers will need to build and
install /usr/sbin/mountd.
NFS diskless support is untested.
