Bill Paul 74e4b87eb6 There are a few small additions to the protocol to make it
easier to use in mixed environments:

- Add three new members to the request structure:

  - a filename specification
  - a database type specification
  - a system byte prder specification

  These allow the client to ask the server for a particular type of
  database (Berkeley DB hash/btree/recno, GNU GDBM, dbm, ndbm, etc...)
  and get back a meaningful error if the server doesn't support it.
  The byte order spec is needed if the database type is byte order
  sensntive. You don't, for example, want to read an ndbm database
  from a big endian machine on a little endian machine (the ndbm code
  will explode). The filename spec lets the client handle things like
  ndbm which uses two seperate files per database (foo.dir and foo.pag).
  The client can ask for each half, one at a time.

- Add a list of database types and byte order values. Each list has
  a wildcard 'ANY' entry which lets the client ask for whatever the
  server supports. (XFR_ENDIAN_ANY is useful with the Berkeley DB hash
  method for instance, since it isn't byte order sensitive.)

- Add two newserver failure codes: XFR_DB_TYPE_MISMATCH and
  XFR_DB_ENDIAN_MISMATCH. The server uses these to tell the client
  that it doesn't support the requested type/byte order.

These changes were made at the suggestion of Thorsten Kukuk, the
current maintainer of the Linux ypserv distribution. This allows
Linux and FreeBSD NIS servers to use the same ypxfrd protocol and
avoid accidentally exchanging incompatible map files.

/*
* This protocol definition file describes a file transfer
* system used to very quickly move NIS maps from one host to
* another. This is similar to what Sun does with their ypxfrd
* protocol, but it must be stressed that this protocol is _NOT_
* compatible with Sun's. There are a couple of reasons for this:
*
* 1) Sun's protocol is proprietary. The protocol definition is
* not freely available in any of the SunRPC source distributions,
* even though the NIS v2 protocol is.
*
* 2) The idea here is to transfer entire raw files rather than
* sending just the records. Sun uses ndbm for its NIS map files,
* while FreeBSD uses Berkeley DB. Both are hash databases, but the
* formats are incompatible, making it impossible for them to
* use each others' files. Even if FreeBSD adopted ndbm for its
* database format, FreeBSD/i386 is a little-endian OS and
* SunOS/SPARC is big-endian; ndbm is byte-order sensitive and
* not very smart about it, which means an attempt to read a
* database on a little-endian box that was created on a big-endian
* box (or vice-versa) can cause the ndbm code to eat itself.
* Luckily, Berkeley DB is able to deal with this situation in
* a more graceful manner.
*
* While the protocol is incompatible, the idea is the same: we just open
* up a TCP pipe to the client and transfer the raw map database
* from the master server to the slave. This is many times faster than
* the standard yppush/ypxfr transfer method since it saves us from
* having to recreate the map databases via the DB library each time.
* For example: creating a passwd database with 30,000 entries with yp_mkdb
* can take a couple of minutes, but to just copy the file takes only a few
* seconds.
