# 211276 13-Aug-2010 ume

- When there is no room for returning the result, nss backend
have to return ERANGE and terminate with NS_RETURN.
- When gethostbyname_r(3) and the friends end with an error,
set errno to the value nss backend returns, and return errno
value.

- make reentrant version of netdb functions glibc style API, and
expose them to outside of libc.
- make netdb functions NSS friendly.

Update the resolver in libc to BIND9's one.

Since, res_sendsigned(3) and the friends use MD5 functions, it is
hard to include them without having MD5 functions in libc. So,
res_sendsigned(3) is not merged into libc.

Since, res_update(3) in BIND9 is not binary compatible with our
res_update(3), res_update(3) is leaved as is, except some
necessary modifications.
The res_update(3) and the friends are not essential part of the
resolver. They are not defined in resolv.h but defined in
res_update.h separately in BIND9. Further, they are not called from
our tree. So, I hide them from our resolv.h, but leave them only
for binary backward compatibility (perhaps, no one calls them).

Since, struct __res_state_ext is not exposed in BIND9, I hide it
from our resolv.h. And, global variable _res_ext is removed. It
breaks binary backward compatibility. But, since it is not used from
outside of our libc, I think it is safe.

- Remove padding for ABI compatibility of n_net member from struct
netent.
- Change 1st argument of getnetbyaddr() to an uint32_t on 64 bit
arch as well to confirm to POSIX-2001.

These changes break ABI compatibility on 64 bit arch.
There is similar padding issue for ai_addrlen of struct addrinfo.
However, it is leaved as is for now.

# 146244 15-May-2005 ume

- The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo used to be a size_t, per
RFC 2553. In XNS5.2, and subsequently in POSIX-2001 and RFC
3493, it was changed to a socklen_t. And, the n_net of a
struct netent used to be an unsigned long integer. In XNS5,
and subsequently in POSIX-2001, it was changed to an uint32_t.
To accomodate for this while preserving ABI compatibility with
the old interface, we need to prepend or append 32 bits of
padding, depending on the (LP64) architecture's endianness.
- Correct 1st argument of getnetbyaddr() to uint32_t on 32
bit arch. Stay as is on 64 bit arch for ABI backward
compatibility for now.

# 65532 06-Sep-2000 nectar

Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can
configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be
looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.

= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).

= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback
functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).

= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch:
. getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid
. getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid
. getusershell
. getaddrinfo
. gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr
. getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr
. getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr

= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified
to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if
there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot
time from the former.

Revert $FreeBSD$ to $Id$


# 21673 14-Jan-1997 jkh

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$

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.


# 20953 27-Dec-1996 wpaul

Small yet significant tweaks/cleanups:

- getservent:
o put _yp_check() proto under #ifdef YP where it belongs
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying

- gethostbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long

- getnetbynis:
o local YP buffer should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying

- ether_addr:
o local YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and should
be NUL terminated after copying (in this case it's BUFSIZ + 2 bytes,
but it happens that BUFSIZ == YPMAXRECORD.

- gethostbydns:
o nuke stray 'return(NULL)' in __dns_getanswer() (harmless but looks silly)

These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.


# 20168 05-Dec-1996 jkh

I asked Bill Paul why _getnetbynis() was only being called with 2 parameters,
and he said:

The 3rd agrument is new; looks like it was part of the upgrade to
a new BIND with some IPv6 support. The third argument here should be
AF_INET. In order for it to be anything else, I'd have to add new
NIS functions to support IPv6 lookups. I don't even know what those
look like yet.

So there ya go, add AF_INET as the 3rd argument to the call.

# 14775 23-Mar-1996 wpaul

Fix other half of problem reported in PR #1079: _getnetbynisaddr() is
broken. The translation from network number to ASCII string was not
working correctly (you would sometimes get things like 0.244.0.0 instead
of 244.0.0).

Also copied results of yp_match() to a static buffer for consistency
with gethostbynis.c.

Note: _getnetbynisaddr() chops off trailing .0's, i.e. 244.0.0 is
truncated to 244. By contrast, getnetbyht.c code (for local /etc/networks
lookups) leaves the traling .0's in place. This means that the NIS
and local file lookups will match different things when looking up the
same network number. I'm not sure which is the correct behavior. (I
think the DNS lookup code tries all combinations -- should the NIS
and local host lookup routines do that too?)
