Document the new -R (relax paranoia) option.
From NetBSD/Lite2: code and man page cleanups, Kerberos IV hooks
(relax, we're still exportable), and /etc/ftpchroot feature for
semi-anonymous accounts
or addresses other than the requestor's address. This violates the FTP
protocol (hmm...as I write this, I'm going to change this to a run-time var.)
Require login before PASV and RNTO commands.
Close unused PASV ports so they don't hang around forever.
Do not allow file overwrites via rename or STOR when anonymous
(suspenders).
Clean up buffer utilization.
My code, but heavily inspired by Hobbit's changes to wu-ftpd as pointed out
by Mike Prettejohn and Kit Knox.
by Peter Wemm:
- In yppasswdproc_update_1_svc(), I wasn't paying attention and put
a couple of lines of code _after_ a return() instead of before.
(*blush*)
- The removal of certain temp files didn't always work (this showed
up mostly if you were using /etc/master.passwd as your NIS passwd
template instead of /var/yp/master.passwd). This is because the
whole temp file creation mechanism I was using was tragically
broken (you can't rename across filesystems).
This problem I found myself:
- If you have a very large password database (30,000 or more entries),
there can be a delay of several seconds while pw_copy() copies the
ASCII template file and subsitutes in the modified/new entry. During
this time, the clnt_udp() code in the RPC library may get impatient
and retry its request. This will get queued at the server and be
treated as a second request. By then the password change will have
been completed and the second request will fail (the old password is
no longer valid). To attempt to fix this, we save the IP address and
port of each request and ignore any subsequent requests from the
same IP and same port that arrive within five minutes of each other.
* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.
* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).
* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.
* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".
* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
systems on the same machine.
* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.
* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.
* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!
* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.
* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)
I forgot his name whilst typing in the commit message on the
port, and he wasn't in the handbook (I guessed wrong, using Marc
Van Kempen, sorry to both). Now, his name is in here and I
won't get mixed up again!

because lex has a library (libln.a) and bsd.lib.mk has been modified to use
'tsort -q'. Tsort has not been build yet...
tsort should be before lex. [Whoops! Thanks! -jkh]

2. Remove pkg_* support - tcl7.5's channel interface has rendered this
almost entirely unsupportable (at least in the way it currently stands).

Changed i586_ctr_bias from long long to u_int. Only the low 32 bits
are used now that microtime uses a multiplication to do the scaling.
Previously the high 32 bits had to match those of rdtsc() to prevent
overflow traps and invalid timeval adjustments.
block number.. (assuming Debugger() returned). The disk drivers assume
that dscheck() sets both error markers (bp->b_error and set B_ERROR in
bp->b_flags) if it fails.
does) before calling dscheck(). dscheck() doesn't appreciate this and
calls Debugger() and returns without setting bp->b_error.
This can happen when there is a casting error and offsets > 2G are
converted to negative off_t's in the disk tools. (dumpfs used to do this).
